Watch: Woman recounts Lyft ride that ended in shooting
A former Lyft driver who’s charged with shooting a woman in York after an argument about the temperature inside the car told investigators that he had been trying to fire a warning shot at the curb, police testified on Thursday.
In the video, shot at night, the hula doll on the Lyft driver's dash upsets a passenger. Miami club casino review. The confused driver didn't seem to understand what the passenger was saying or what she meant. I must disagree with the other answers here on a technicality. Since Uber drivers are not employees they can’t be fired (although that is not clear from a legal perspective as to whether they are truly employees or independent contractors).
York City Police Detective Zachary Pelton said on cross-examination that Jerry Miller stated that he stopped on East College Avenue and South George Street on June 24. He then tried to get out of the car, he told investigators, but one of the three women he’d been driving struck him in the back of the head.
Next, Miller told police, he grabbed his gun, a SIG Sauer P320. He then fired out the back passenger side window. The women had already exited the vehicle.
“This was a warning shot,” said Pelton, who was referencing notes of the interview, “and he shot at the curb.”
District Judge Ronald Haskell Jr. later ordered Miller, 51, of Newburg, Cumberland County, whose story differed from the three women, to stand trial on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. Prosecutors added two additional counts of each at the start of the preliminary hearing.

Pelton testified that Miller told investigators that the women called him racist and that he was scared. Mr green dumps.
Miller is white. The women are Black.
Police later executed a search warrant and found a magazine containing 15 bullets inside his car.
Miller was cooperative and turned over his weapon to law enforcement. He had a little mark behind his right ear, Pelton testified.

Earlier in the hearing, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jennifer Tobias called Henrietta Rice, one of the three women who was in the car, as a witness.
Rice testified that she and her nieces, Rosemarie Elliott and Mae Harris, called a Lyft at about 3 a.m. following a family game night. She asked the driver to let them roll down the windows because it was cold, but he ignored her repeated requests.
Later, Miller, she testified, started to call her dumb. He had locked the doors in the car.
When they got to the intersection, Rice testified, one of her nieces stated that she was going to call the ride-hailing company and ask for a refund. Miller told them to get out of the car. But she said the doors were still locked.
They eventually made it out of the car.
That’s when Rice said she saw the driver reach down, pull out a gun and fire one shot. The bullet hit the curb, and fragments struck Harris in the leg. The three went to a family member’s house and called the police.
“He had my whole life shook up,” Rice testified. “I’m scared of this man.”
On cross-examination, Rice said no one was under the influence, to her knowledge. She said she doesn’t drink or take drugs. She said they did not have the opportunity to physically do anything to the driver.

In a statement, Leticia Chavez-Freed, an attorney who’s representing the family with her co-counsel, Jenni Chavis, said they were happy to see Miller appropriately charged.
“Violence against Black women has often been minimized and discounted throughout the history of this country. We are so very pleased to see our clients being taken seriously and having the perpetrator being held accountable,” Chavez-Freed said. “It is a good day for all women and York County has much to be proud of in their stance of upholding the laws of the commonwealth, accountability and protecting women.”
Miller is set to be formally arraigned on Sept. 9. He’s free on $25,000 unsecured bail.

A social justice warrior receives–social justice!
Schadenfreude is a sin, and it's cruel to gloat–but I'm loving the tale of the feminist who took it on herself to berate a Lyft driver over his hula-girl dashboard bobble-head–and then got laughed off the Internet.
Here's the story, from Heat Street:
“You thought that was adorable,” she said to him. “You didn’t think of the pillaging of, like, the continent of Hawaii.”
The 'continent of Hawaii'!
The social justice warrior in the car has been identified as Annaliese Nielsen, the owner of a high profile LA-based digital girl’s club (think online sorority for rich annoying people). The video of the incident was anonymously delivered to journalist Lauren Southern, who uploaded it to YouTube.

Nielsen thought she was being clever by filming the incident, believing she was firmly on the side of justice.

“You will be published on Gawker,” Nielsen told the driver. “And you’ll be like the next internet meme, it’s going to be super funny.”
Sadly, though, though, Gawker shut down on Aug. 22 (the bobble-head incident took place in early July)–a $140 million invasion-of-privacy verdict over publishing a Hulk Hogan sex tape can do that to you. Meanwhle, perhaps someone in that 'online sorority' decided that secret sisterhood wasn't so powerful and slipped the vid to libertarian-activist Southern.
You can view the vid here–or read theDaily Caller's summary here:
Nielsen follows up by saying the driver, as a “white male,” didn’t have the right to defend the doll because he is “the person who is least hurt in the situation.” The driver later states that he actually is Asian, prompting Nielsen to demand a precise description of his Asian heritage….
When another passenger comes to the driver’s defense and suggests the woman’s complaints are “pathetic,” the woman responds by demanding to know the passenger’s full name, presumably for later Gawker-related activities.
Ironically, Nielsen also accuses the driver of being “very rude and extremely entitled.”
“I’m sorry that you have no consideration for actual Hawaiian people who don’t want to be a bobblehead item in your car while you’re driving for Lyft,” she says. “You f—ing selfish dumbass idiot.”

The driver finally kicked Nielsen out of his car, and, according to Southern, who contacted him, Nielsen subsequently tried to get him fired from Lyft. Fortunately that didn't happen–or if it did, Lyft subsequently reinstated him. Meanwhile, Southern posted a photo on Twitter of the used paper plates, dirty forks, and other trash allegedly left behind in his back seat after Nielsen exited.
It might have been too late for Gawker, but the vid was an instant YouTube hit, with viewers deluging Nielsen's own Twitter account with so many raucous jeers that she shut it down.
Nielsen promptely went onto Facebook to accuse Southern of membership in the 'alt-right'–shades of Hillary Clinton! 'Naturally a barrage of harassment from strange men has been unleashed upon me,' she complained.
'Strange men'! Shouldn't I feel sad over this put-upon defender of the oppressed Hawaiian people? I'm sorry, but I just don't.
