A Warsaw taxi service owner's permit will be suspended for the second time in the past five months.

The Warsaw Board of Public Works and Safety during its meeting Friday approved suspending Stoney Tyrone Lisenbee's taxi permit, doing business as ASAP Taxi, effective Friday.

Lisenbee is owner and operator of ASAP Taxi.

At its May 4 meeting, the board approved revoking Lisenbee's taxi permit for 30 days due to an incident May 1 involving a city violation.

Lisenbee attended the board's June 15 meeting and the board approved under the supervision of Serenity House, Lisenbee would be allowed to operate ASAP Taxi in Warsaw.

Police Chief Steve Foster wrote in a letter to the board that on Aug. 22 it was brought to his attention that Lisenbee evidenced a state of intoxication.

In the letter, Foster suggested Lisenbee's permit be revoked until Lisenbee can show cause for consideration.

Mayor Ernie Wiggins said a letter has been mailed to Lisenbee informing him of the board's decision to suspend Lisenbee permit.

Also during the meeting Street Superintendent Lacy Francis informed board members the street department has two trucks spraying for mosquitos.

Wiggins said he has received phone calls from Warsaw residents who have been concerned with the mosquitos.
