ATLANTA — A former Uber Eats delivery driver accused of murder is now in more trouble.
Robert Bivines' fiancee told Channel 2's Tom Jones that Bivines was taken to the hospital after he was stabbed in the eye in jail.
The Fulton County Jail said Bivines and another inmate initiated the fight. His fiance, Shannan Carwell, said he was defending himself after being threatened and called the Uber Killer.
“It's mentally breaking me down because hearing him cry and hearing him just try to make it,” Carwell said.
Bivines is accused of killing customer Ryan Thornton in February.
Carwell said Bivines’ notoriety could end up costing him his life as he sits in the Fulton County Jail.
“A lot of inmates in there know about this case,” Carwell said. “He's in fear of his life.”
Carwell said many of the inmates are threatening Bivines. She said that, on April 15, she heard an inmate threaten Bivines as she and Bivines talked on the phone.
“I heard the gentleman in the background yelling and screaming at Robert, that I'm going to get you,” Carwell said.
When Bivines and inmate Donato Brown got into a fight, Brown stabbed Bivines in his left eyelid with a shank, according to Bivines.
