A 22-year-old man, Shane Capezio, was arrested in California for allegedly kidnapping a Lyft driver and assaulting her. He forced her to a marijuana dispensary while threatening her, leading to a tense situation where she managed to text 911 for help. After the driver was rescued by deputies, Capezio was taken into custody and faced multiple felony charges. Lyft has since banned him from their platform and stated that such violent behavior will not be tolerated. This incident follows a settlement related to passenger safety issues for Lyft.
Capezio allegedly forced the driver to take him to a marijuana dispensary, threatening her with a gun and later assaulting and choking her during the ride.
