Lenny Dykstra claims he was essentially kidnapped by an erratic Uber driver -- and now, we've learned prosecutors have hit the driver with a criminal charge.
The night in question (May 23) is the same evening Dykstra was arrested in NJ for allegedly threatening to shoot the driver when cops say they also found Dykstra in possession of weed, cocaine and ecstasy.
The driver had claimed Lenny asked to change destinations in the middle of the ride and when the driver refused, Lenny flipped out and threatened to shoot him.
