"POPS, DON'T MAKE ME KILL YOU" - William Douds, a 70-year-old Charleston

store.
The driver asked where they wanted to go, and the woman gave an address in
Teays Valley, a long distance trip. When Douds asked to see their money for
the fare, the man put a small knife to Douds neck and demanded money and
the keys to the cab.
