Investigation found that a 25-year-old Wayne woman had purchased $ 15 worth of gas and attempted to pay with a credit card which was declined. The attendant was willing to allow her to leave to obtain money, however, requested that she provide her driver’s license as he would be financially responsible to his employer if she did not return.
The woman refused and began to argue with the attendant. She then tried to drive off with the gas nozzle still attached to her vehicle causing damage to the gas pump.
