Three students were robbed by a male after getting picked up from Tigerland on March 17 around 3 a.m., according to Media Relations Director Ernie Ballard.
The students believed they were getting into an UBER car they requested to bring them to Residential College One – North Hall, Ballard said.
The driver told the students he was a taxi and requested cash upon arrival at the dorm, Ballard said. After the students gave him a small amount of cash, the driver took out a knife and demanded more money.
All three students were able to get out of the vehicle without injury. The driver then fled the scene, Ballard said.
