Official: Missouri Lyft driver pulled gun over mask request

MAPLEWOOD, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis County councilwoman says a Lyft driver pulled a gun on her husband when he asked the driver to wear a mask, and police are now investigating. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Councilwoman Lisa Clancy made the allegation in a tweet Monday directed at Lyft saying, “one of your drivers just cocked a gun on my husband when he asked him to wear a mask (which is your policy).” Clancy says her husband was on his way to the airport at the time and missed his flight to New York City because the driver canceled the trip. A Lyft representative told the Post-Dispatch the company had barred the driver from the platform and is cooperating with the police investigation.
