Uber Driver Arrested After Yelling at, Refusing to Cooperate with Police

By |

Two Uber customers had a less than satisfactory ride when their driver was arrested after he yelled at police and refused to cooperate when he was pulled over, last week. On Nov. 11, at 1:15 a.m., an officer patrolling on in Watertown Square ran a routine registration check on a vehicle heading westbound on Main Street. Records showed that the owner of the vehicle, Glenn Gaines, had a suspended license, said Watertown Police Lt. James O’Connor. “When the officer got to the car there were three people in the car, and the driver was an Uber driver,” O’Connor said.
