GRANT COUNTY, Ind. (WOWO) – Indiana State Police say that a Fort Wayne man was arrested following a dispute with a Lyft driver in Grant County.

Shortly after 8 p.m. Monday officers responded to North Grant County Road 500 East, near 550 North, because a Lyft driver had activated his panic alarm. On arrival, the driver said that he told the passenger to get out of the car and the passenger complied.

Officers located the passenger, Zavion Davis, 20, of Fort Wayne along State Road 18, near Grant County 500 East.
