The defendant managed to wrestle the bag from him and run off." Mitigating, Christopher Morton, said Richards' two-year-old son had died in October last year and he had been to his son's grave the day before. Mr Morton said the fare was picked up in Ferrybridge and the couple were going to another area of Knottingley to buy cigarettes on the black market.
"The fact of the matter is the defendant, when under the influence of drink, reacted badly to being told he wouldn't be given change he thought he was entitled to. He was angry and did make a threat and grabbed and stole the driver's takings.
