Authorities say the cab arrived at Kelli Boyer’s Denver, Pennsylvania, home around 1 a.m. Sunday and she told the driver she would be back in a few minutes to pay the fare. When she didn’t return in about 15 minutes, the driver called police.

Police say officers made several attempts to contact the Lancaster County woman but she refused to answer her door or phone. She’s charged with theft of services.
