Uber Incident
Dallas Assistant District Attorney, Jody Warner Loses Job For Berating Uber Driver.
On late Friday evening, November 10th, 2017, as Jody left Capitol Pub located in the Old East part of town in Dallas, she ordered an Uber and her driver Shaun Platt arrived. At some point during the drive, Jody asked to turned off the GPS and started giving directions to Platt. According to Platt, Jody appeared to be heavily intoxicated while giving directions. The situation turned bad when Platt discovered that they were lost.
When Platt suggested routes, Jody would not answer.
She then said, "You can follow
the Fucking GPS", and from then on she became increasingly irritable and began to berate Platt.
After some time, Platt decided to pull over and asked her to get out of the car at which point she started to threaten him.
Plat then called the police who came and took her home.
Jody has since lost her job in the DA's office due to the incident.
