A 26-year-old Uber driver said a prosecutor hit him, belittled him and threatened him during a ride.
Jody Warner worked as a prosecutor for the Dallas County District Attorney's Office until Monday. The incident that led to her dismissal happened after Shaun Platt picked her up outside a Dallas pub.
Driver said she was drunk, and he refused to continue driving her home when she wouldn't give him directions. He recorded some of their conversation.
District Attorney Faith Johnson contacted Uber's driver and apologized to him for Warner's actions. Johnson later said, after reviewing and investigating, Warner's conduct was counter to the department's core principle of integrity, and it won't be tolerated. A bad day.Wednesday, November 15, 2017
