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.
