Woman Arrested After Allegedly Shooting Texas Uber Driver -- She Thought He Was Kidnapping Her & Bringing Her To Mexico!
perezhilton.comA woman from Kentucky has been arrested after she allegedly shot her Uber driver, thinking he was kidnapping her. Phoebe Copas, 48, was in an Uber on June 16 in El Paso, Texas when she started to become suspicious of her driver. Daniel Piedra Garcia, 52, was taking her along US Route 54 on her way to her destination, which was Mission Valley, according to what the El Paso Police Department said in their statement.
Copas was reportedly visiting her boyfriend in Texas, but during the ride she started to get paranoid when they kept passing signs that said “Juarez, Mexico” on them.
This isn’t out of the way of El Paso at all, might we add, because the city lies on the border of Mexico right across the river from Juarez.
She was on the right track for her destination — but started to believe she wasn’t due to the unfamiliar signage — and that’s when things took a horrific turn.
