Syracuse, NY--Syracuse police looking for a suspect accused of robbing a Salt City Taxi driver Thursday found the man hiding underneath a woman who was laying in bed.



Here's what happened according to police reports:

The taxi driver told police he was dispatched to 148 Fage Ave. at about 1:50 a.m. Thursday to pick up a customer.

He drove the man to the 300 block of Dudley Street. When the driver put the car in park, the suspect lunged forward wrapping his arm around the driver's neck, placing something hard and pointy there, the driver told police.



The suspect demanded money and the driver handed over $105 in cash. The suspect then pulled off the victim's glasses. He told the driver to drive the cab straight ahead, not to look back because he had a gun and would shoot the car.



The driver pulled away turning the car around at the intersection of Putnam and Dudley streets. He saw the suspect run into the backyard of 300 Dudley St. The driver then drove the cab around the block and saw the suspect jump the fence behind 300 Dudley St.

The driver drover around the block again and saw the suspect jumped the fence again heading toward Putnam Street. At that point the driver lost sight of the suspect and called police.

The drivers showed officers where he had dropped off the suspect. Officers found the driver's clipboard in the snow and followed footprints from it to a home at 114 Bradley St.



Police heard people yelling inside the home. When they knocked on the door, the woman who answered allowed them to search the house.

Officers searching the house found another woman crying as she lay in a bed on the third floor. Clothing was laying next to the bed, including boots with a distinctive pattern on the soles.



When asked if she had seen the suspect, the woman said he had left.



Police continued to search the house and when they returned to the bedroom they found the suspect, Anthony Jamison, 20, of 342 Palmer Ave., Syracuse, laying underneath the woman.

He was arrested and charged with robbery and criminal possession of a weapon, both felonies, and criminal possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor, and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.
