if i take a friend to a gas station and just leave him there, is that illegal?
edit: here’s some more info to make it less vague and answer some common questions in the comments. this wouldn’t be a minor or an elderly person i would be legally responsible for taking care of. it would be someone who is mentally competent enough to take care of themselves on a day to day basis. i’m asking about the legality of if i were to leave a known associate at a location like a sheetz with the intention of leaving them there and not coming back.
The act of taking someone somewhere with the intent of leaving them there is not illegal. If it were taxis and Uber wouldn't exist.
Some things that could get you in trouble:
1) you can't leave them stranded. (No money, no phone, in a place they would have trouble leaving or calling for help.) Sheetz should be fine assuming it's open and/or not crazy far from friends or family.
2) intent: if you are doing this to cause alarm or stress this could fall under intimidation or worse. This would be hard for the person you left, but could still be a charge. This would be like if you got in a fight with someone, and decided to drop them off on the scary side of town to make them walk back.
If you drop them off with their phone and the Sheetz is open, and you're not doing it to cause fear. Your good.
