A woman in Austin has been arrested after authorities claim she stole her Uber driver's vehicle and drove herself to the airport because he was "driving too slow."
According to the Uber driver, 27-year-old Neusha Afkami, who is originally from California, reportedly was growing upset as they were making their way to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and first grabbed his phone from him and threw it out of the window.
When the driver pulled over to retrieve it, Afkami hopped into the driver's seat and took off.
Authorities were able to locate the driver's vehicle abandoned in front of a terminal. They were able to apprehend Afkami before she hopped on her flight, where it was found that she also stole her driver's wallet and spent about $120 on items that were all found in her possession, including a shot glass and candy.
According to Yahoo News, Afkami was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
