The woman in a viral March 2021 video seen coughing on an Uber driver is in trouble again, this time accused of stealing a San Francisco nurse's identity.
A woman seen coughing on and verbally attacking a San Francisco Uber driver in a viral video is now in custody, according to city jail records.Emily says the two never spoke beyond maybe a head nod in the hallway.Emily says Kimiai got a Miami penthouse apartment in her name and even set up an electric account with Florida Power and Light in her name as well.
She filed police reports with SFPD, Miami PD and the US Postal Inspection Service, detailing her claims.A spokesperson for Miami PD confirms their economic crimes unit has obtained an arrest warrant for Kimiai. The charges are grand theft, organized scheme to defraud and fraudulent use of personal information.
A spokesperson for the Miami building's management company said in an emailed statement in part,"We are aware of an incident ... where a resident allegedly used a fake identification to rent an apartment ... we are fully cooperating with the police in their investigation." A spokesperson for Florida Power & Light said in an emailed statement in part,"While we cannot discuss a particular customer's account, we can say that FPL works with local and state law enforcement to investigate all cases of customer scams that are brought to our attention."
"I think it's really just horrible that someone can take a really easy way out, a get rich quick scheme and try to live in the lap of luxury on someone else's dime," said Emily.ABC7 News reached out to her attorney, Seth Morris, regarding the new allegations. He said he is in communication with Kimiai and she is in the process of arranging for her surrender in Miami.
