Deadliest Catch star, Captain Sig Hansen’s Uber woes are not over. After being arrested back in May for allegedly kicking an Uber car and spitting on an Uber driver, he has is now being sued by that very driver.
The incident occurred after a Norwegian Independence Day celebration in May. Sig, along with his wife, June, and his daughter Mandy, and new son-in-law Clark Pederson took an Uber, driven by Waheed Lawal.
According to police reports, when Hansen discovered that he needed to pay for his Uber ride on his phone with a credit card, and the driver refused cash, he became angry. Accepting cash is against Uber’s policy and Lawal was following company policy.
The obviously inebriated crab fisherman had become belligerent, and Sig allegedly spat on the back of the driver’s head. Then the vehicle stopped, and the party got out of the vehicle. Hansen then allegedly kicked the driver’s vehicle, causing damage.
