Karr Andrews is charged with assault and weapons offenses after arguing with his passenger.
TRENTON -- A chauffeur and a Ewing man face assault, theft and weapons offenses after police say they dragged a woman out of a car following an argument.
Karr Andrews, 24, a local driver for profit, picked up the victim Wednesday night at about 10 p.m., police spokesman Lt. Rolando Ramos said.
On the way, Andrews picked up his friend David Wesley, 24, Ramos said. During the drive, the victim, a 21-year-old woman, began to talk bad about Andrews while she was on a phone call.
Andrews overheard the conversation, took offense and told her to get out of the car, Ramos said.
He then pulled over at Cadwalader Park in the West Ward, where he and Wesley allegedly pulled the victim out of the car, Ramos said.
Andrews and the victim began struggling, and the victim later told police that $160 fell out of her bra.
While the victim and Andrews continued to argue, Andrews allegedly passed a gun to Wesley, Ramos said.
Wesley then handed the gun back to Andrews, though neither pointed the weapon at the victim.
The victim told police that Wesley picked up her $160 and drove off with Andrews. The victim was able to flag down an officer, Ramos said.
Andrews and Wesley were arrested Thursday morning at 1 a.m.
Both are charged with simple assault, theft and weapons offenses, and Andrews is also charged with criminal restraint.
