BROKEN ARROW — A Tulsa woman was arrested after allegedly taking a cab to a house in Broken Arrow and robbing the driver with a lighter shaped like a gun a half block away from her destination.

Police found Mekhia Dishmon, 19, hiding in a home in the 1400 block of North Umbrella Avenue and took her into custody after a brief struggle early Wednesday, according to an arrest report.

She was booked into the Broken Arrow Jail and transferred to the Tulsa Jail two days later on complaints of robbery with a firearm and obstructing police.

The victim, who is a driver for multiple cab companies, told police he picked up Dishmon from the house on Umbrella Avenue about 11 p.m. Tuesday and drove her to a Motel 6 in Tulsa.

Once there, he said, he waited for about 20 minutes before the woman returned to the car and told him to take her back to the house in Broken Arrow, the report states.

As they approached the intersection of Oakland Street and Umbrella Avenue, Dishmon reportedly exited the vehicle and began walking. The driver stepped out and asked for the fare, which totaled $85.
