Summary

Lawrence County Sheriff's Department detectives release video this afternoon of the attack on a Yellow Cab driver. The attack happened early Wednesday morning inside the cab driven by Corky Asbury. Asbury was stabbed in the neck when he refused to take the suspect to a Huntington strip club on Route 60. Asbury told detectives he was dispatched to the parking lot of the Exxon station near Fairland Middle School in Lawrence County, Ohio.
