The lawsuit said that on July 20, Richard Warren got into an Uber ride at around 4 a.m. for what was supposed to be a 15-minute trip and began a conversation with the driver about recently getting out of prison.

According to the driver, Warren then pulled out a gun and told the driver he was going to shoot him.

Warren then commanded the driver, at gunpoint, to drive and search for a prostitute, the lawsuit claimed.

When they found one, the driver was ordered into the back of the hatchback car, but Warren let the prostitute go when he found out she was transgender.

Warren then continued to drive around and search for another prostitute, with the Uber driver in the back of the car, the driver said.

The document said Warren then drove into a “random” neighborhood and told the Uber driver to remove his clothes.
