OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS
FOR THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL
In the Matter of the Licenses Held By
Michael S. Hickes FINDINGS OF FACT.
for Taxicab License Driver CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATION
The above-entitled matter came on for hearing before John W. Harrigan,
Administrative Law Judge, on August 9, 1995, at 9:30 A.M., at Room 42, St. Paul
City Hall, 15 W. Kellogg Boulevard, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102. The hearing
concluded on August 9, 1995.
Janet A. Reiter, Assistant City Attorney, 400 City Hall, 15 W. Kellogg
Boulevard, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102, appeared on behalf of the City of Saint
Paul. Michael Hickes, the licensee, appeared on his own behalf.
This Report is submitted to the Saint Paul City Council, pursuant to Section
310.05 (c-1) of the Saint Paul Legislative Code.
This report is a recommendation, not a final decision. The Saint Paul City
Council will make the final decision after a review of this record. The Council may
accept, reject or modify the Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Recommendation
contained herein. Pursuant to Section 310.051c-1) of the Saint Paul Legislative
Code, the Council shall provide the licensee an opportunity to present oral or
written argument alleging error in this report, and to present argument relating to
any action recommended in this report. The licensee should contact Janet A.
Reiter, Assistant City Attorney to ascertain the procedure for presenting argument.
STATEMENT OF ISSUES
1. The issue to be determined in this proceeding is whether action may
be taken against all licenses held by Michael Hickes on the grounds that the
licensee, on May 20, 1995:
°15-11�7
a. picked up a group of passengers to be taken to the Mall of
America, while under the influence of alcohol;
b. did not take the passengers to the Mall of America but stopped
at a Total Mart on West 7th Street in St. Paul;
c. engaged in indecent sexual conduct by unlawfully touching and
grabbing one of the passengers without her consent;
d. assaulted another passenger;
e. attempted to ask for additional money for fares;
f. and left the passengers at the Total Mart.
This is in violation of Section 310.06 and 376.16 of the Saint Paul Legislative
� Code.
The Administrative Law Judge makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Michael Hickes is currently licensed by the City of Saint Paul as a
taxicab driver.
2. On May 20, 1995, Michael Hickes drove to the Payne Reliever, a bar.
He drove his taxicab to the bar because his personal vehicle was not working..
Michael Hickes had been drinking at the Payne Reliever. When Miichael Hickes was
leaving the bar he was hailed by ther nine young ladies.. His taxicab was not in
service at the time and he did not check in with his dispatcher. The ladies had also
been drinking, both at their hotel and at the Payne Reliever, over a period of several
hours.
3. Licensee agreed to take the nine passengers from the Payne Reliever
to the Mall of America. The testimony conflicts as to what the fare arrangement
was. The passengers state that he agreed to take them for 525.00, and that they
paid the 525.00. Michael Hickes states that he attempted three times to turn the
meter on only to have the passengers turn it off. The ALJ finds that Michael
Hickes agreed to take the passengers to the Mall of America for 525.00 and that
the passengers entered the taxicab believing that to be the arrangement.
2
a15 -1���
4. During the trip, Michael Hickes made several contacts with the breasts
of Marie Jorgenson, a passenger, with his right arm.
5. During the trip, Michael Hickes had Marie Jorgenson, the passenger,
steer the automobile and he attempted to open her pants.
6. Michael Hickes stopped the taxicab at the Total Mart on West 7th
Street, ostensibly to get gasoline.
7. At the Total Mart on West 7th Street, Michael Hickes threw a�
passenger, Tara King, to the ground. There was an altercation between Michael
Hickes and several of the passengers at the Total Mart.
8. Michael Hickes was observed driving in an erratic manner for
approximately a mile before he arrived at the Total Mart.
9. Three witnesses testified at the hearing that Michael Hickes smelled
strongly of alcohol and appeared to be under the influence while he was driving the
taxicab and while he was at the Total Mart.
10. Michael Hickes was given notice of this proceeding by letter, dated
July 7, 1995.
Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact, the Administrative Law Judge
makes the following:
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The Administrative Law Judge and the Saint Paul City Council have
jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Minn. Stat. 340A.503, subd. 2, and Saint
Paul Legislative Code 310.05 Ic-1).
2. The Notice of Hearing was proper in this matter and all procedural
requirements of law or rule have been fulfilled by the City of Saint Paul.
3. Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 376, governs the action of taxicab
drivers in the City of Saint Paul.
4. Michael Hickes violated the following sections of the City of Saint Paul
Legislative Code:
3
°I5-�ti7�
Section 376.1 1, subd. f. The engagement of the taxicab was not
determined and fixed by the taxi meter, according to rates provided for

RECOMMENDATION
IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED: That the City Council take adverse action
against the license as follows: the taxicab driver's license of Michael S. Hickes
should be revoked and he should be responsible for the costs incurred by the City
for holding a hearing to revoke the license.

MEMORANDUM
It is hard to find a more clear-cut case of violation of the licensing laws.
Michael Hickes admitted that he had many drinks on the date in question and that
he drove the taxicab to the Payne Reliever because his private car was out of
commission.
At the hearing, Michael Hickes stated that he wished to apologize to Ms.
King and Ms. Jorgenson for any inappropriate behavior. He further stated that,
prior to this occasion, he has never been accused of drinking on the job or
assaulting passengers and on this date he really wasn't on the job and he made a
mistake by accepting the passengers when he was hailed by the group of young
ladies.
The licensee clearly violated the law in many respects. Any requests he
makes for leniency are left to the discretion of the City Council.

On 7-3-95 at 1045 I interviewed Hickes, Michael Shelby of 1171
Lawson (No Phone) at his home. Prior to the interview I
introduced myself as a St. Paul Police Investigator and described
the case I was investigating. Hickes stated he understood and said
he did want to talk to me about the incident. He stated he was the
taxi cab driver the women in this incident made the report against.
Mr. Hickes stated at the time of this offense he did work for
Airport Cab. He said each cab company has a different lease
agreement with their drivers. He said with Airport Cab he leased
the cab by the week. Hickes said the night of this offense was a
Saturday and it was his day off. He said he normally worked six
days a week and took Saturdays off, He said he had been at the
Payne Reliever Bar from 1800 through 2200 that evening. I asked
Hickes what he drank while at the bar? He said he drank Whiskey
and Cokes. When I asked him how many drinks he consumed that
evening he first told me he had drank 4 drinks. When I questioned
that number he revised it to six drinks. When I questioned that
number he admitted he had consumed 8 to 10 drinks. He went on to
say, "I was drunk! I admit it! I was guilty of that!" Hickes
stated he made a mistake by driving the Airport Co. Cab to the bar
that evening. He said when off duty he normally drove his own
vehicle but his personal vehicle had failed the admissions test and
he could not drive it.
Hickes stated he was leaving the Payne Reliever and going home in
the cab when he met the women named in the police report. He said
he had not seen the women in the bar while he was there. He said
the Payne Reliever is actually two bars and the women were probably
in the bar that had the male strippers. Hickes said he was in the
cab at the back (westside) parking lot of the Payne Reliever at
Payne and York, driving away, when the women haled him and "piled"
into his cab. He said he realized there were a lot of them but he �
did not actually know how many of them there were. Hickes told me ?
he was aware that it was against the law for a cab driver to accept
more that four people as a fare in his cab. He said they piled
into his cab and said "Mega Mall". Hickes said he turned on the ,�
cab meter and the woman sitting right next to him turned the meter �•
off. Hickes said twice more he turned the meter on and•the same
woman turned the meter off. He said the woman that turned the �
meter off was the woman sitting right next to him in the front seat
and she was the woman he is accused of fondling. Hickes said he
thought three women got in the frontseat with him and the rest of f
the women got in the backseat. Hickes described the woman sitting �
next to him as the largest of all the women that got in his cab.
He said the women told him it cost them $30.00 to get from the Mega
Mall to the Payne Reliever and they offered him $25.00 for the �
return tri . He said he a reed to the fee.

I asked Hickes if he had fondled the breasts of the woman sitting
next to him in the cab? He stated he did fondle that woman's
breasts. He said he was on the freeway when that occurred and
probably 5 to 6 blocks in to the ride when he started to fondle
her. He said he touched her breasts over her clothing. Hickes
said he did not think the woman minded being fondled as she was
hanging her breast right in to him. Hickes said he thought the
woman was allowing him to fondle her breasts as a sexual favor for
the reduced cab fare he was giving them. He said he also thought
the women were very drunk.
Hickes admitted that approx. half way in to the trip he did
unbutton and unzip the pants of the woman sitting next to him. He
said he did put his hand down her pants between her pants and her
panties. He said the woman never told him to stop not did any of
the other women tell him to stop.
I asked Hickes if he had ever let go of the steering wheel of the
vehicle and told the girl sitting next to him to drive the car.
Hickes said, "Maybe! I don't remember doing that but it sounds
like something I would do! If she says it happened, it probably
did but I don't remember!" He went on to state that with the
vehicle he was driving it was possible to let go of the steering
wheel and as long as the vehicle was on a straight road it would
continue that way for miles.
I asked Hickes if he recalled sitting at stop sign for a long
period of time? He said he did not recall that.
I asked Hickes what route he drove from the Payne Reliever to where
the assault occurred? He said from the Payne Reliever parking lot
he turned W/B on York to Edgerton. He said he turned N/B on
Edgerton to E. Maryland. He said he turned W/B on E. Maryland to
S/B 35E. He said he continued on 35E to W/B W. 7th St, to the �
Total Gas Station on W. 7th St. ?
Hickes stated as he approached Davern Av. on W. 7th St. the women �
noticed he was almost out of gas. He said he pulled in to the ��
Total Gas Station. Hickes said prior to pulling in to the Total �
Gas Station he and the women had argued about money. He said the
women had agreed to give him $3.00 for gas and to tip him more when
they arrived at the Mega Mall. Hickes said when he pulled in to ✓�
the Total Gas Station there was a man and at least two women ��
standing outside. He said he thought he recalled they all had
Total Gas Station uniforms on. He said the man told him the gas
pumps were out of order. Hickes said he told the women he could �
not continue the trip and told them he wanted them out of his cab.
He said they got out of the car but told him they wanted their
mone back. He said when he refused to give them the'r money back

they began stealing his personal property from inside the cab. He
showed me a coffee mug in his livingroom that he said was one of
the items they tried to steal from him. Hickes said the woman that
tried to take his coffee mug was the woman he assaulted. He said
as that woman was walking away from him he grabbed her from behind
by her right shoulder. He said he may also have caught her dress
as he grabbed her and he may have knocked her to the ground. `He
said when that occurred the woman that had been sitting next to him
in the cab tackled him from behind. He said he went down hard on
the pavement. He said once he was on the pavement she sat on him.
As Hickes told me this he laughed and stated that she was real big
and possibly weighed 200 #'s. He said the other women were well
proportioned but the one that tacked him was like a"She Male". He
said after the woman sat on him she "beat the shit out of him". He
said she grabbed him by the hair and beat his head against the
pavement approx. 5 times. Hickes said another woman jumped on his
legs and pinned them to the ground. He thought the other women may
have kicked him a few times as he was pinned to the ground. He
said they were a"swarm of angry girls." Hickes said none of the
other people standing around would help him. He said he could not
get up. He said the big woman had his right hand in a grip with
her hand that he could not break. Hickes said his arms are strong
and he could not break her grasp on his arm.
Hickes said eventually the women had mercy on him and let him get
up. He said he could not breathe because the big woman was sitting
on his chest and some of the other women asked her to let him up.
Hickes said the big woman tried to get the keys out of the ignition
of his cab because they had figured out by then that he had been
drinking. He said they had his cab number and the license number
of his cab. He said he had both sets of the vehicle keys in his
pocket and he managed to jump in to the cab, lock the doors and
roll up most of the windows of the vehicle. He said one rear
window was still partially rolled down. He said as he drove away �
the big woman tried to reach through the partially open window but ?
he was able to drive away and escape the scene. �
Hickes denied he had a bottle of alcohol in the car or drink �!
glasses. �
�
Hickes stated he is currently driving for Yellow Cab. He said he
had not received a notice of a hearing to be held by the St. Paul �
License Div. regarding his cab license. I informed him that the
hearing was set for August 9, 1995 and instructed him to call the �
City Attorney's Office.

On 6-7-95 at 1125 I spoke by phone to Mr. Craig Hartog, a
supervisor for Airport Taxi (222-0000). He said he knew little of
this incident. He said he had heard about it and questioned former
Airport Taxi driver, Mike Hickes, about the incident the Monday or
Tuesday following the incident. He said all Hickes told him was
that nine women piled into his cab and said they wanted to go to
the Mega Mall. �
Mr. Hartog said Hickes was let go by Airport Taxi approx. two weeks
prior to our conversation. He said Hickes was let go partially due
to this incident and partially because of other problems he did not
describe. Mr. Hartog stated that Hickes was not the type of person
they wanted working for Airport Taxi.
Mr. Hartog told me he had received a call from Mr. Troy Gilbertson
of the St. Paul Licensing Div. regarding Hickes.

Date: Auqust 9, 1995
Time: 9:30 a.m.
Place: Room 42
St. Paul City Hall
15 W. Relloqq Blvd.

The Council of the City of Saint Paul has the authority to provide
for hearings concerning licensed premises and for adverse action
against such licenses, under Chapter 310, including sections 310.05
and 310.06, of the Saint Paul Legislative Code. In the case of
licenses for intoxicating and non-intoxicating liquor, authority is
also conveyed by Minnesota Statutes section 340A.415. Adverse
action may include revocation, suspension, fines and other
penalties or conditions.
- -� �'� �5-����
Evidence will be presented to the judge which may lead to adverse
action against all the licenses you hold at the above premises as
follows:
��That on May 20, 1995, you picked up a qroup of fares to
take to the Mall ot America. At the time you were under
the influence of alcohol. You did not take them to the
Mall of America, but stopped at a Total Mart on West
Seventh Street in Saint Paul. On the way to the Total
Mart you enqaqed in indecent sexual conduct by unlawfully
touchinq and qrabbinq one of the passenqers without her
consent. At the Total Mart you also assaulted another
passenqer. You attempted to ask for additional money for
the fares, and then left tbe passenqers at the Total
Mart. The above conduct is a violation of law, and
constitutes qrounds under Section 310.06 and 3?6.i6 of
the 8aiat Paul Leqislative Code tor revocation of your
license. ��
You have the right to be represented by an attorney before and
during the hearing or you can represent yourself. You may also
have a person of your choice represent you, to the extent not
prohibited as unauthorized practice of law.
The hearing will be conducted in accordance with the requirements
of Minnesota Statutes sections 14.57 to 14.62 and such parts of the
procedures under section 310.05 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code
as may be applicable.
At the hearing, the Administrative Law Judge will have all parties
identify themselves for the record. The City will then present its
witnesses and evidence, each of whom the licensee or attorney may
cross-examine. The licensee may then offer in rebuttal any
witnesses or evidence it may wish to present, each of whom the
City's attorney may cross-examine. The Administrative Law Judge
may in addition hear relevant and material testimony from persons
not presented as witnesses by either party who have a substantial
interest in the outcome of the proceeding; for example, the owners
�r occupants of property located in close proximity to the licensed
premises may have substantial interest in the outcome of the
proceeding. Concluding arguments may be made by the parties.
Following the hearing, the Judge will prepare Findings of Fact,
Conclusions of Law, and a specific recommendation for action to be
taken by the City Council.
You should bring to the hearing all documents, records and
witnesses you will or may need to support your position. Subpoenas
may be available to compel the attendance of witnesses or the
production of documents in conformity with Minnesota Rules, part
1400.7000.
If you think that this matter can be resolved or settled without a
formal hearing, please contact or have your attorney contact the

undersigned. If a stipulation or agreement can be reached as to
the facts, that stipulation will be presented to the Administrative
Law Judge for incorporation into his or her recommendation for
Council action.
If you fail to appear at the hearing, the allegations against you
which have been stated earlier in this notice may be taken as true
and your ability to challenge them forfeited. If non-public data
is received into evidence at the hearing, it may become public
unless objection is made and relief requested under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 14.60, subdivision 2.
