Cab Driver Accused In Rape Has Bail Hearing



THURSTON COUNTY, Washington —

The cab driver accused of picking a woman up at a Tacoma night club last weekend and raping her is being held on $50,000 bail.

Prosecutors had asked for $100,000 bail for Mahamud Husseno, but Husseno's court-appointed defense attorney argued that Husseno had no criminal history in his 11 years in Washington.

A KIRO 7 news crew was at the hearing.
