Man Arrested for Kidnapping Lyft Driver in CA

Shane Robert Capezio, a 22-year-old man, was arrested after allegedly kidnapping a female Lyft driver in Spring Valley, California, demanding she drive him to various locations under the threat of having a gun, which he did not possess. The Lyft driver discreetly texted 911, leading deputies to intervene at a Lemon Grove dispensary, where they found a struggle taking place inside the vehicle. Capezio, who was on mental health diversion for another case, faces charges including kidnapping, robbery, and false imprisonment. The Lyft driver was unharmed, and Lyft has permanently banned Capezio's account, expressing support for the driver. This case highlights the effectiveness of the 'Text-to-911' feature in emergency situations.
