STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) - A Darien investment banker has pleaded not guilty to charges that he cut a New York City cab driver of Middle Eastern descent with a pen knife in what prosecutors called a hate crime.
The Advocate of Stamford reports that 47-year-old William Jennings entered the plea Friday in Stamford Superior Court.
Jennings is facing charges of second-degree intimidation based on race or bigotry, second-degree assault and theft of services. Police say he refused to pay the $200 fare for a trip from New York and used racial slurs in the dispute Dec. 22.

Jennings is on leave from a job with Morgan Stanley.
