[OAGDU] A Heads Up about a now Hopefully Terminated Lyft Driver

[Shane Popplestone]

I would send this information to

lyft-feedback at nagdu.org

as well as file a report, and the lack of the warren county sheriff's 
department not willing to file charges is disgusting and I'd be calling 
and speaking someone higher up in the chain of command at that police 
department.

Failing that, I'd be reaching out to media and making all kinds of noise 
about that, especially because he struck you with his passenger side mirror.
