Illegal to Give a Free Ride in Quincy IL Unless Specifically Licensed



Do you think it should be illegal to offer free rides to drunk drivers?

In Quincy, IL, police conducted a sting operation that nabbed the operator of Courtesy Rides.

Jonathon Schoenakase was arrested Saturday morning around 1:30 after he gave an undercover police officer a ride from a Quincy night club.

Police say they have received complaints about Courtesy Rides operations from other licensed taxi operators.

Schoenakase began his free ride service in January 2008.

Schoenakase faces charges from a previous sting operation last February.

A change in Quincy's taxi and limousine ordinance last year makes it illegal for Schoenakase to give free rides without proper licensing.

I would love to see how this one ends up being resolved.
