Frank Grantham, young taxi driver, was arraigned in municipal court yesterday morning on a charge of theft of an automobile and reckless driving. He waived examination and was bound over to the next term of court under bond in the sum of $500.
Grantham, it will be remembered, was the driver of an automobile owned by a former Goldsboro man, now a resident of Greensboro, which was stolen recently from its parking place on Center street, and was hours later found rammed into the front porch of a home on north William street. He was more or less bruised and battered, the car was a wreck, and the building was damaged.
Grantham was very much intoxicated at the time of the crash, and remembered few of the details, either of taking the car or of his wild drive. It was said that there had been others with him but if such was the case they had departed when the police arrived and Grantham was taken in charge, later to be released on bond.
The damage to the car and dwelling is said to amount to several hundred dollars.
