PENN HILLS, Pa. — A man who is a driver for a rideshare company, as well as a college professor, is accused of holding two women against their will.

Richard Lomotey, 36, is charged with kidnapping, harassment and false imprisonment. He is free on bail while he awaits a court appearance next week.

According to police, two women who got in his car after calling an Uber escaped his car and were screaming for help.

Lomotey was allegedly supposed to drive the women from Homewood to Penn Hills on Saturday morning but started to drive away from the route.

The victims told police he was making inappropriate comments before he pulled over, locked the doors and said, "you're not going anywhere."

Why would a college professor have to drive for Uber?

I guess its the only way he can pick up women.

Just an assistant professor at Penn State Beaver thinking he'd captured a couple of beavers . . .

Do NOT click on the link as it will reinforce ugly racial stereotypes.

Not many folks know how little non-tenured professors get paid. It’s usually per course taught, and it’s not much.

As a side note, Pennsylvania is a shall-issue CCW state. It’s lucky for this driver/professor that (evidently) neither of these ladies were armed.

Once he made the statements, the girls should have started recording told him that they feel in danger and requested immediate pull over immediately. Then retrieved their weapons to the ready, but still concealed. Called 911.

“PENN HILLS, Pa. — A man who is a driver for a rideshare company, as well as a college professor, is accused of holding two women against their will.”

So is it a driver and a college professor, or a driver who IS a college professor?
(#B seems to be the answer, but this sentence is so poorly written that it’s hard to tell).


“According to police, two women who got in his car after calling an Uber escaped his car and were screaming for help.”

Why would the two women get in the police car after calling an Uber? And did they escape from the police car and were “screaming for help”?

More and more, I see the tell-tale signs of public education in “news reports.”

I was an adjunct professor for five years at the largest community college in Orlando, FL. I taught a computer course, and it was fun, but I barely made minimum wage. So when I got a job offer that paid better from Lexington, KY, that included covering my moving expenses, I accepted, so now I am in Kentucky.

Isn't that the truth! TV News, where all the jobs to go affirmative action hires and the blondest interns.

Some Uber drivers have heard stories about single women taking drivers home to have copious amounts of unsafe casual sex simply because the driver asked, thereby curing the woman of a life-long battle with frigidity.

Mild Mental Retardation is classified in Western Civilization at about 52 to 69.
