WMATA’s transit police detained a 23-year-old pregnant woman for speaking too loudly into her mobile phone at a Wheaton bus shelter. The Post reports that Sakinah Aaron was waiting for a C4 metrobus when she got into a verbal confrontation with a transit police officer because of Aaron’s very loud conversation while on her mobile phone. She was detained and brought to a holding cell until her aunt could come to pick her up.
