Uber Assault Suspect Malaysia King Was Arrested In Vegas for Bank Fraud; Uber Driver Thankful for GoFundMe Donations
One of the two women now in police custody in connection with the highly publicized March 7 assault on an Uber driver in San Francisco was actually arrested for an alleged bank fraud scheme in Nevada in the days following the Uber incident.
24-year-old Malaysia King was arrested in Las Vegas last week right around the time that the SFPD Robbery Unit suggested arrests may be made in the Uber case. But, as KPIX now reports, her arrest came after she and an accomplice, identified as David Lewis, were allegedly attempting to illegally gain access to a bank account and transfer funds to themselves. The pair were arrested at a Bank of American branch near Rancho Drive and Charleston Boulevard in Las Vegas on Tuesday, March 9, after workers at the bank suspected that they were using a fake ID and bank card to try to withdraw funds from an account that did not belong to them.
