BREAKING:
Police in South Salt Lake have responded to a suspect who they say has barricaded himself inside a hotel room after robbing an Uber driver while wielding a stun gun this morning. Gary Keller, a spokesman for South Salt Lake Police, says things began when an Uber driver went to pick up a passenger at the Ramada Inn at 2455 South State Street. The customer asked the driver to come up to his room, and when the driver did so the customer pointed a stun gun at the driver and demanded cash. The Uber driver turned over his cell phone but did not have cash. He left the room and called police. Dispatchers said they received the call around 9:20 p.m. As of 10:25 am Thursday the suspect is barricaded inside his room and is not coming out. Police are currently on scene.
