The man allegedly locked the doors and told the women 'you're not going anywhere,' according to a criminal complaint.
An assistant professor for Pennsylvania State University's Beaver campus who was moonlighting as an Uber driver is accused of holding two women against their will during a ride Saturday morning.
Richard Lomotey, 36, is charged with two counts each of kidnapping, false imprisonment and harassment.The women told police that they were taking an Uber ride home when Lomotey, their driver, ignored map directions on his app, according to a criminal complaint from Pittsburgh police. Lomotey allegedly made comments about his single status and that he"wanted to get with them" before he pulled over.
One of the woman was able to jump out of the car and the second woman quickly followed. The two then ran down the street screaming in the hopes that someone would call 911, the complaint said. "These allegations are deeply troubling and we have revoked his access to campus as we look into this matter," the school said in a statement."This is obviously a criminal matter and we cannot comment further."
