Narrative:
A cub landed and upon exiting the runway did not pull up past the hold short line. The ground controller told the cub to pull past the hold bars and asked the aircraft their destination. The cub was told to taxi to his ramp via specific instructions to prevent him from crossing a 'hot spot;' the departure end of runway xxr. The ground controller was watching the cub and the cub turned at the wrong taxiway (the one that crosses a runway) and the ground controller told the cub to 'stop.' the cub stopped so hard that the nose went into the pavement and hit his propeller.
