In case you missed it while trying to rush out of the office on Friday afternoon, ARLnow broke a story about an off-duty employee with Metro’s Track and Structures/Systems Maintenance Department who was arrested by Metro Transit Police outside of the Pentagon City station. According to ARLnow:

“MTPD officers on patrol at the station observed a man who appeared to be unsteady on his feet around 5:15 p.m,” Metro spokesperson Ron Holzer said in an statement. “The man began to run as the officers approached. He then struggled with the officers when they apprehended him… He was charged with being drunk in public and impeding an officer with force (assault).”

The man was also overheard telling police he’d “been arrested so many times it’s hilarious.” Another Metro spokesperson told the Washington Post’s Robert Thomson that “[t]he matter will be addressed when he reports for duty,” which sounds like the arrested individual might need to get in line for a new job — though, we all know how that goes with Metro.

One question: where’s this kind of stuff go on Metro’s new performance scorecard?
