The Florida Uber driver with “crazy eyes” who was caught on camera allegedly pulling a gun on a passenger has been arrested — and sassed an officer while being cuffed.
Police body cam footage obtained by 7News Miami shows Jennifer Benitez, 23, being pulled over by cops during a traffic stop May 17, days after the terrifying encounter in Miami.
“Driver, put the window down! Do it now!” the officer tells Benitez, pointing a gun at her vehicle before ordering her to turn off the engine and step out, body camera footage from Port St. Lucie Police shows.
“Face away from me with your hands up! Take a step away from the vehicle to your left. Now walk backwards,” the officer continues.
Benitez lies face down on the road and is put in cuffs before being led to a patrol car and asked to confirm her name, the video shows.
When asked if she knows about the outstanding warrant for her arrest, she replies, “I have a right to remain silent,” the video shows.
She then gets snappy with a second officer who is frisking her, telling her, “You don’t have to undo that,” as she searches her jacket.
“You gonna tell me how I’m gonna do my job?” the officer retorts, before the first officer tells her she smells like marijuana.
“You can test me, I have the right to remain silent,” Benitez responds.
Benitez was extradited to Broward County and appeared in bond court on May 21 where she was charged with one count of aggravated assault.
She remains locked up in the Broward County Jail where her bond is set at $7,500.

Well, Port St Lucie should tell you what you need to know
If she was a man, she would have been shot for directly threatening an officer.
Probably far from the first time her mouth has gotten her into hot water.
I can’t see well enough to drive any more. Would never take an Uber. Luckily I can walk to four grocery stores and my pharmacy.
If I need to go to doctor’s office, etc further away, I call a cab.
Didn’t watch.
However I lay good $$ that the words “I can’t breathe” were uttered.😎
I can fix her
Once the passenger saw those eyes, she should have exited the vehicle. STAT!
Need to see more before I can adequately assess guilt/non-guilt.
It would appear that Benitez is an über bitch.
Welcome to my county. 75% (at least in the last gubernatorial election) voted D-rat. Driving here is awful. It’s amazing to me how important it is for people to be first at traffic lights. They race by, hurrying to stop. I don’t understand it. But at least they race to the red light to change it green for when I get there. Use the assholes to your advantage.
Pictures (I can’t unsee now) are at the link. Passenger is an uber-skank. Ha, see what I did there.
See it I did

Josie Wales: Well, that one in the center, he had a flap holster and he was in no itchin' hurry. And the one second from the left, he had scared eyes; he wasn't gonna do nothin'. But that one on the far left, he had crazy eyes. Figured him to make the first move.
Lone Watie: How 'bout the one on the right?
Josie Wales: Never paid him no mind; you were there.
Lone Watie: I could have missed.
Florida man can fix her.
She looks at me and she can't disguise
She's got crazy eyes....
I'll shut up now.
