Texas woman pepper sprays ride-share driver, steals his wallet for refusing to go through drive-thru: police

A Texas woman is wanted in Houston after authorities say she pepper sprayed and robbed her ride-share driver over his refusal to take her through a fast-food restaurant drive-thru earlier this month.

Surveillance footage from Sept. 6 shows the female suspect and the driver standing outside a car in a parking lot when the woman appears to suddenly pepper spray the man in his face.

The driver told officers that he works for a ride-share company and had picked up the woman in the 5500 block of Griggs Road, the Houston Police Department said. 

When he dropped her off at a fast-food restaurant in the 5900 block of Gulf Freeway, he said the woman asked him to go through the drive-thru.

The driver said he refused, and then she got angry and hit him in the head with her hand.

The driver then told the woman to get out of his car, but she refused, according to police. He said that he walked around to the passenger side of the vehicle and forced her out.

He said the woman then hit him in the face and pepper sprayed him. Footage shows the man covering his face with his hands as he walks out of the frame.

The video also shows the woman going back to reach into the driver’s vehicle. Police said she stole his wallet from the car before leaving the scene.

Authorities say a grand jury subpoena was submitted to the ride-share company. Meanwhile, the Houston Police Robbery Division is working to identify the suspect. Police described her as a 20-year-old Black female, standing about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and wearing a gray shirt and green shorts.

Braves' Spencer Strider offers scorching hot take: 'Get rid of the fans'

Atlanta Braves star Spencer Strider is seemingly longing for the days when there were no fans in the stands and the ballparks were quieter.

The only time that happened in modern times was in 2020, when the season was shortened due to the coronavirus pandemic. Fans did not get to watch games for the regular season but were able to return for the National League Championship Series and later the World Series.

Strider was asked about having any hot sports takes in an interview with MLB Fits and fired off a doozy.

"Absolutely, there should be no fans, 2020 season, no fans," he said. "Get rid of the fans, it’s too loud. It’s too loud, everybody be quiet. We don’t need the cheering, we know you’re watching. I don’t need the fans. 

"You stay outside the stadium. I mean, back it up. Let’s do like a no lower-bowl thing. Upper decks, great. Outfield, phenomenal. We don’t need you around the dugouts. Just try and be quiet."

Unfortunately for Strider, he plays for a team that is among the best in baseball and averages nearly 40,000 fans per game. Not only that, Strider is so good, Braves fans want to see him pitch too.

His Sept. 6 start against the St. Louis Cardinals was seen by 35,514 people. However, he was shelled for six runs on six hits and lasted 2.2 innings. On Sept. 19, over 40,000 fans saw him hold the Philadelphia Phillies to just three wins as he struck out 11.

Strider could be in contention for a National League Cy Young Award as well. He is 19-5 with an MLB-leading 274 strikeouts in 31 starts this season.
