AKRON, Ohio -- A 33-year-old Uber driver turned himself in after being accused of sexually assaulting a passenger in Akron.

A sexual battery warrant had been issued for Brandon Franklin, Akron police Capt. Daniel Zampelli said.

The incident happened around 10:45 p.m. March 25, Zampelli said. A location of the incident was not available, he said.

The 22-year-old woman was drinking with friends and was intoxicated, police say.

A friend called Uber to take her to her home in East Akron. The woman said she woke up in her room and found Franklin sexually assaulting her, Zampelli said.

Franklin ran from her home when she pushed him out of her room, police say.

He was booked in Summit County Jail and is expected to be arraigned Wednesday morning.
