"A driver for car-service company Uber was arrested for allegedly kidnapping a woman with the intent to sexually assault her, the Los Angeles Police Department said Tuesday.\nFrederick Dencer, 32, was arrested on Monday after police found him and a 26-year-old woman at the Panorama Motel in Van Nuys, California. Dencer is accused of taking the intoxicated woman to the motel after being asked by a valet employee at a West Hollywood nightclub called Greystone Manor to take her home, according to the Los Angeles Times.\nSee also: Faulty Background Checks May Put UberX Passengers at Risk, Report Says\nDencer \"took advantage of the situation,\" Lt. Paul Vernon of the LAPD said in a statement.\nThe woman reportedly woke up at 6 a.m., local time, to find Dencer lying next to her, shirtless, in bed. She told police that Dencer asked her to stay. Instead, she left and went to a nearby 7-Eleven to call police. When they arrived, the woman told police that she did have an Uber account, and might have used the service that night. Police later discovered that her phone was dead, and that she did not call Uber.\nThe woman was reportedly too drunk to tell Dencer where she lived. He never collected any fare from her, and drove her to the motel. Police later looked at surveillance tapes, and saw that Dencer helped the woman get out of the car, eventually carrying her to the motel room. \nUber has had problems with the background-check process for its cheaper service UberX, which uses the driver's own car instead of Uber's black cars. Earlier this year, a California woman who was reportedly on probation for beating a woman in 2012, applied to be an UberX driver, and was accepted within four weeks.\nThe LAPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\nBONUS: What Is Uber?\n\nHave something to add to this story?
