Metrobus Driver Arrested for Kidnapping
Buried at the very bottom of yesterday’s Metro press release on disciplinary procedures is this little gem:
In the most recent incident, a Metrobus operator refused to allow a customer to exit the bus after a verbal dispute. He was arrested by Metro Transit Police on Saturday, July 25, and charged with kidnapping. The bus operator is on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of an investigation. Metro officials will determine an appropriate level of discipline once the investigation is complete.
Geez, what kind of “verbal dispute” ends with a bus driver being charged with kidnapping?
By the way, if you’re trying to beat the ongoing Red line delays, Metro suggests you try taking the bus. Sounds like that might not be the safest option either…
