Texas woman pepper sprays ride-share driver, steals his wallet for refusing to go through drive-thru: police
Woman allegedly got angry, assaulted driver in fast-food parking lot in Houston


A Texas woman is wanted in Houston after authorities say she pepper sprayed and robbed her ride-share driver over his refusal to take her through a fast-food restaurant drive-thru earlier this month.

Surveillance footage from Sept. 6 shows the female suspect and the driver standing outside a car in a parking lot when the woman appears to suddenly pepper spray the man in his face.

The driver told officers that he works for a ride-share company and had picked up the woman in the 5500 block of Griggs Road, the Houston Police Department said.

When he dropped her off at a fast-food restaurant in the 5900 block of Gulf Freeway, he said the woman asked him to go through the drive-thru.

The driver then told the woman to get out of his car, but she refused, according to police. He said that he walked around to the passenger side of the vehicle and forced her out.

It's clearly that woman show signs of idiocracy. Don't she knows the driver's company policy? Actually she don't.

Same as Uber and Lyft, local rules about parking may limit where you can park your vehicle when picking up orders, making deliveries, or waiting for riders to arrive or to exit a vehicle. For example, stopping in bike lanes or blocking accessibility ramps may violate the law.
