LAS VEGAS (AP) — A woman arrested in Las Vegas several days after an attack on an Uber driver in San Francisco that was widely viewed on social media agreed Monday to be transferred in custody to California to face criminal charges.
Malaysia King's court appearance in Las Vegas came hours after police in San Francisco announced that Arna Kimiai, 24, a woman seen with King in the Uber driver confrontation, turned herself in to face robbery, assault and battery, conspiracy and other charges.
Kimiai's attorney, Seth Morris, said Kimiai posted a $75,000 bond pending a future court appearance.
In Las Vegas, King, 24, did not have a lawyer during her brief court appearance by closed-circuit video. She was not asked about the charges against her.
King was arrested Thursday on a warrant from California accusing her of assault with a caustic chemical, conspiracy, assault and battery and a health and safety code violation.
The judge told King she may also face felony charges in Las Vegas stemming from allegations that she and a man tried to use another person's identification to obtain funds from that person's bank account.
Court records show that King was arraigned on burglary and conspiracy charges in that case and has a court date in May.
