A passenger in a taxi from UpIsland objected to the fare and took it out on the cab in the early morning hours of June 21. The driver, Aiman Shaukat of Smithtown, told police he had driven up to a Granada Court driveway when the man began disputing the charges. He finally paid, said Mr. Shaukat, but then picked up a rock and threw it at the cab’s rear window, chipping it. In his haste to get away, Mr. Shaukat drove into a ditch.
