A Hyde Park man was arrested Sunday after police said he slapped a female Uber driver's face and nearly caused multiple accidents.

Hunter Megowen, 28, was charged with disorderly conduct, according to court documents.

Cincinnati police said the female Uber driver flagged down officers to report Megowen had mugged her when she offered him a ride home.

After police told Megowen to stop behaving in a disorderly fashion, he began walking down Linwood Avenue and attempted to stop cars, according to court documents. Megowen was heavily intoxicated at the time of the incident, police said.

Megowen appeared in court Monday. He was released from the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $500 bond.
