A Portland city commissioner who has led efforts to slash funding to police in her city called 911 on a Lyft driver after he tried dropping her off at a gas station, according to audio of the call.
“I got a Lyft driver that decided he would just drop me off at a filling station. And he wants me to get out. And I’m not getting out of the car ... at a filling station. Not happening,” Jo Ann Hardesty, a Democrat, told the dispatcher on Nov. 1.
