A man from St. Louis pulled a gun on the Uber and stole the Tesla

Russell Bryant Jr., 18, is charged with first-degree robbery and armed criminal action.

Police say the Uber driver picked up Bryant on Oct. 4 at Forsyth Boulevard and Lyle Avenue in Clayton. Bryant asked the driver to change the delivery address and offered to pay the driver in cash, police said.

The driver refused, got out of his Tesla Model 3 and opened the passenger door, police said. He told Bryant to get out of the car.

“I didn’t mean to do this,” Bryant said before pulling a gun on the driver, according to charging documents.

Bryant drove off, but the Uber driver was able to track the location of the vehicle, police wrote. The car was left unoccupied in the city of St. Louis.

Using fingerprints from the car and Uber records, police located Bryant at his address in St. Louis, they wrote in the charging documents.

He was arrested and officers said he told police he took the car to the Amazon facility in Berkeley, where his girlfriend was having an asthma attack.

GPS data showed he drove to the facility from Clayton and then his city residence, police said.

Police said they found a semi-automatic handgun in Bryant’s bedroom.

Bryant was jailed without bail Friday.
