Friend says Jameis Winston was alone with Uber driver

A friend of Jameis Winston's who was with the Buccaneers quarterback the night Winston allegedly sexually abused an Uber driver says Winston left a party scene alone in the Uber car, a statement that contradicts a third friend who has said publicly that Winston was never left alone with the driver.

Winston, former Vanderbilt football player Brandon Banks and Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby were at a Scottsdale, Ariz., nightclub in March 2016 when Winston became intoxicated and "unruly," prompting his friends to send him away in an Uber, Banks' attorney, Mark Scruggs, told Outside the Lines.
