What in the Holy Hell?

Did this dude just really want a ride back to the city? FFS. I hope he at least tipped him well…

From MPD:

“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force announced that an arrest has been made in reference to a Kidnapping and an Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Gun) offense that occurred in the 2400 block of Calvert Street, Northwest, on Monday, December 11, 2017.

The victim, who is a driver for Lyft, picked up the suspect in the 2400 block of Calvert Street, Northwest and drove him to Aberdeen, MD. Once there, the suspect asked the driver to drive him back to the District of Columbia. The driver declined and the suspect forced his way back into the vehicle, brandished a handgun, and ordered him to drive back into the District of Columbia. The victim complied.
