A Dallas prosecutor was fired following reports of a drunken meltdown in an Uber ride where she threatened to accuse the driver of kidnapping her.<\/p>\n

Jody Warner, a Dallas County Assistant District Attorney, was accused of attacking and repeatedly berating Shaun Platt as he drove her home Friday from a pub in Old East Dallas, according to the Dallas Morning News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

District Attorney Faith Johnson announced Monday afternoon that the 32-year-old prosecutor was terminated from her position in the office\u2019s crime against children unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough criminal charges have not been filed, her behavior is contrary to this office\u2019s core principle of integrity, and it will not be tolerated,\u201d Johnson said in a statement to The Post. \u201cAs public servants, we represent the people of Dallas County and are examples of justice, professionalism, and ethical behavior both inside and outside of the courtroom. I will not waiver on my expectation of the highest integrity for myself or my staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warner worked in the district attorney\u2019s office for six years before getting her walking papers.<\/p>\n

The district attorney said the decision came after a \u201cthorough investigation\u201d into her alleged profanity-laced rant, parts of which were recorded via audio.<\/p>\n

Platt, 26, told the Dallas Morning News that the late Friday night ride became heated when Warner told Platt to change his GPS-directed route and he got lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said, \u2018You can follow the [expletive] GPS\u2019 and she became increasingly angry, even though I was just trying to get her home,\u201d Platt told the Dallas Morning News.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Warner, who Platt said appeared intoxicated, reportedly started slapping him on the shoulder and warned him that she was a district attorney.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho are they going to believe? I\u2019m a district attorney,\u201d Warner allegedly told him.<\/p>\n

Platt called 911 and started recording the conversation.<\/p>\n

In audio obtained by the newspaper, a female passenger can be heard telling the driver that he was \u201cgoing to regret this so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

While waiting for police, the passenger accused the driver of keeping her in the car against her will.<\/p>\n
