NORCROSS — A taxi driver in Norcross was threatened with a knife after walking to a customer’s door to collect money still owed on a fare.
What happened: On May 10, a man hired a taxi and was dropped off at the 1500 block of Shenta Oak Drive in Norcross. He paid only part of the fare and told the driver he was going inside to get the rest of the money. He did not come back out.
The threat: The driver went to the front door to ask for the remaining payment. The man came outside with a pole in one hand and a knife in the other and threatened the driver with the knife. The driver left the area and called police.
What police need: Gwinnett County Police detectives have not identified the man and are asking the public for help. Police have released photos of the suspect.

We need to talk about our cousin Earl. You know the one—he’s got the Confederate flag swim trunks and thinks ‘hold my beer’ is a complete strategic plan.
