Is Kane Paying for Problem to Go Away?

Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks was allegedly involved in a robbery and assault against a Buffalo, NY cabbie this past weekend. According to the cab driver, Kane and another man beat and robbed the cabbie when he didn’t have twenty cents to make change.

On Sunday the 60 year-old cabbie was claiming that he "wants the case to receive the same type of prominence from the mayor's office, police and prosecutors."

On Monday morning the cabbie’s lawyer’s was on WGN radio with this to say, "It's pretty much been blown out of proportion," LoTempio told WGN. "It's a dispute over the cab fee and unfortunately Mr. Radecki didn't recognize Mr. Kane and just thought they were a javascript:void(0)couple of college kids."

Last season Patrick Kane made $3.725 million playing hockey for the Blackhawks.

One word comes to mind – "payoff"
