An Orange County Sheriff’s deputy was arrested early Saturday after he pulled a gun on a Lyft driver, the agency said.
The driver told Orlando police that after dropping off Deputy Troy Heyer at his home, he was writing a report to Lyft when Heyer came out and pointed a gun at him, saying “what are you doing here,” an arrest affidavit said. The driver said he was in fear for his life and went to the intersection of Narcoossee Road and Lake Nona Club Drive where he called police.
He took officers to Heyer’s home. Officers knocked on the door, and Heyer’s wife answered the door and said he was sleeping. Officers told her to wake her husband up, but she said he wouldn’t wake up because of sleep apnea, the report said.
Heyer came out after a second attempt and agreed to speak with officers but soon said he was done talking, the affidavit said.
“You’re either going to arrest me or I’m going back in the house,” Heyer said, according to the affidavit.

DANG!
Famous last words.
Unless the driver was still sitting there an hour later, I'm thinking the sheriff probably drunk - hence the need for a lyft.
Sounds like paranoia fueled by alcohol or meth.

Normally, there's no need for drivers to write reports. Just drive on to the next appointment. Most likely the driver was writing a report of some sort of incident that happened with the possibly drunk passenger.
Even police wives know NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE unless you absolutely have to.
What’s it all about? Alky!!
In the deputy’s defense, maybe there was a dog in the Lyft car that needed to be shot.
So the guy wakes up and tells his wife he wasn't going to wake up because of sleep apnea. This is like Moe telling Curly to, "Wake up and go to sleep."
Article says the deputies said he smelled of alcohol. All he had to do was not go to the door and talk. That’s it and he skates.
Hopefully this driver is smart enough to make a copy before turning it over to the IA cops.

“Officers told her to wake her husband up, but she said he wouldn’t wake up because of sleep apnea...”
LOL. This the kind of “sleep apnea” you can order by the bottle at the local saloon?
“All he had to do was not go to the door and talk. That’s it and he skates.”
Well, they had a complaint of aggravated assault against him. I don’t think they just let that drop because you won’t come to the door. They just would have had to get a warrant.
At which point you are now sober and still a cop.
And the Lyft guy gets his ass beat.
“Sleep apnea?” Probably would have needed a forklift to get him out of bed, too.
Almost forgot: JBT ping.
OK, beat me to it.
