A taxicab customer who fled without paying for a 30-mile ride has been ordered to walk the same distance as punishment for her crime.
Victoria Bascom skipped out instead of coughing up for the lengthy trip from Cleveland to Painesville, Ohio, reports The News-Herald.
The 18-year-old pled guilty Thursday to misdemeanor theft. Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael Cicconetti offered her a choice of either serving 60 days in Lake County Jail or walking the 30 miles in 48 hours.
The Fairport Harbor resident chose the latter, reports WOIO.
Bascom, who was also sentenced to four months of probation and ordered to repay United Cab $100, began her journey with a GPS device strapped to her body, at the Lake County Fairgrounds on Friday.
It's not the only time that Cicconetti has doled out an unusual punishment to fit the crime.

On the same day as Bascom's sentence, the judge called for Diamond Gaston to either be sprayed with pepper spray or spend 30 days behind bars, as punishment for pepper-spraying another man.
The 19-year-old Painesville resident, who pleaded guilty to assault, chose the spray. But the judge secretly had the victim use a nonharmful water-based substance instead of the real deal in order to simply scare Gaston.

Cicconetti has also previously ordered a teen who was playing music too loudly sit on his own in the woods in silence.
And he forced a man who called cops "pigs" to stand with real pigs in the center of a town for two hours.
