You may remember Michael Swayze from such films as Drippin’ Wet, She’s The Boss 2, and Hustler’s She Fucked My Friend, but these days he’s known for something completely different – that is as a man accused of stealing a cab on the strip, who actually had a passenger inside.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the 23-year-old porn star, now faces multiple felonies in Las Vegas including kidnapping, and grand larceny, along with other pending charges in Arizona.

Although not all the details of the incident have been provided yet, what we do know is he stands accused of stealing a cab on the Las Vegas strip with a passenger inside. He then crashed into multiple cars and led authorities on a pursuit that ended at the Arizona border.

The Yellow Cab Company vehicle had pulled into the Bally’s valet area about 11:15 a.m. on May 24 when the driver stepped out to help unload the passenger’s luggage. About the same time, police said in an arrest report, Swayze climbed into the driver’s seat and drove off at a “high rate of speed.”

The passenger, who was still in the backseat, later told police that the cab hit something on the road, which caused her to hit her head against the door, according to the report.

She pleaded for him to stop, and he dropped her off less than 1 mile away from the resort, police said, telling her to “get out of the vehicle and that it would be her only chance.” Meanwhile, the cab company had a live video feed from inside the vehicle, and a GPS tracking its moves, police said. Swayze, however, managed to “destroy” the GPS device, police said.

Las Vegas police officers later spotted the stolen cab and tried to stop it, but the driver sped off, hitting multiple cars. A Metro helicopter followed the vehicle north on Interstate 15 into Logandale, about 60 miles away from the Strip, according to the report. The Arizona Highway Patrol then deployed spike strips near the Arizona border, stopping the cab, police said.

“Our investigation has determined that this incident was the result of mental health issues,” his attorney, Chris Rasmussen, wrote in a statement. “Michael did not possess the criminal intent requisite to violate the crimes alleged.”

Michael Swayze was jailed in Arizona on charges of DUI, reckless endangerment, and evading authorities. Swayze was released after posting bail in Arizona and is due in Las Vegas Justice Court next month.

Michael Swayze has not appeared to have starred in any movies this year. His Twitter account was deactivated sometime in 2021. So I’m not really sure what he’s got going on but we did a nice interview with him previously that you should check out “20 Questions with Michael Swayze.”
