Yes, here’s one that would be impossible to make up: Metro reports today the new president of the new taxi workers’ union is Ron Blount, who faces simple assault and false imprisonment charges next month.

As anyone who has ridden a cab in the last year or so has already guessed, Blount is alleged to have struck a rider after she wanted to pay with a credit card.

Blount says he’s innocent of the assault charges. One driver told Metro the following: “We fully believe he’s innocent and will beat the charges.” Pun intended, I assume.
