JUPITER, Fla. (WTXL) - A South Florida Uber driver has been arrested after police say he threatened to kill a victim while giving her a ride home, forced her to drink his urine, and sexually battered her.
The Jupiter Police Department said that they arrested Gary Kitchings on Monday for kidnapping and sexual battery. They said that the incident happened on Sunday around 2 a.m. after the victim called Uber for a ride home.
