An Uber Eats driver accused of raping a disabled man at his job last month was arrested, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Todd Barron, 54, fled to California after the March 25 rape, but was caught when authorities discovered he booked a flight back to Atlanta, police told Channel 2.

Barron was arrested April 13 at the airport, according to Channel 2. He remains in the Fulton County jail without bond on charges of aggravated sodomy and abuse, neglect of exploitation of a disabled or elderly person.
Barron was at No Mas! Cantina on Walker Street picking up a delivery order, when he followed the 21-year-old victim to a bathroom and allegedly sodomized him, Channel 2 reported.
The victim, described as having the mental capacity of an eighth grader, was preparing to start his shift when he was attacked.
Barron, now fired, had been working with Uber Eats since November.
In a statement to Channel 2, Uber Eats said: “What’s been described is extremely disturbing and we are appalled. The delivery partner does not have access to the app and we stand ready to work with police on their investigation.”
Barron’s next hearing is scheduled for April 27, Channel 2 reported.
