A frightening experience for one Fargo college student has her speaking out about taxi safety.

Suzie Marin is filing complaints with police after she says a cab driver made her so uncomfortable, she feared for her life.

"I was scared for my life," Marin said.

Sophomore Suzie Marin was having a down day. Her car was towed and she needed a ride to Moorhead to get it, so she called Doyle's Cab Company and when the driver arrived, he started asking questions.

"He asked if I was sick and I said no, and then he asked if I got my car towed because I was in trouble with the police, and I said no," Marin said.

Suzie, upset and alone in the backseat, says the older man even asked if she had a boyfriend, and it didn't stop there.

"He asked if I needed a comforter later, if he could give me his number so he could come and comfort me after work," she said.

And when the driver couldn't find the destination, her mind started racing.

"I was starting to feel really uncomfortable," she said.

So, she asked him to drop her off at the closest gas station.

"I could've easily been overpowered by him. We were on a back road in Moorhead and I had no idea where I was. I had no idea what was going to happen, if he was going to lock the doors," she said.

Suzie says a coworker had a similar experience with a Doyle driver. Now, she's scared for other women who have to take cabs alone.

"I don't know what someone like that would do with someone who is drunk in the backseat. Someone who is not able to make those decisions," she said.

Suzie says she contacted the cab company who aside from refunding her fare, didn't help much.

"He made me scared for my life. I don't think that that's okay and I think he should be fired," she said.

Now she's working with the Clay County Sheriffs Department for more answers.

The Sheriff's Department is looking into the case. Doyle's Cab Company would not comment on the case.

Local authorities say reports of suspicous cab activity or harrassment are rare, but anyone who has experienced something similar, should contact police.
