[quote=Anonymous]From the Washington Post -- Yeah! "Metro nabbed a poster child for fare evasion this week. On Thursday, two officers at the Minnesota Avenue station saw a man slip through the fare gates without paying, followed him to the platform and asked to see his SmarTrip card, the transit agency said in a news release. “Don’t even check it,” the fare jumper was quoted as telling the officers, because the card had a negative balance. Turns out this wasn’t a hard-luck passenger who was caught short on his SmarTrip balance. He was a habitual fare evader and a paroled criminal, according to police. He was also illegally armed, Metro said." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/tripping/wp/2017/11/17/metro-police-find-poster-child-for-fare-evasion-crackdown-in-arrest-of-paroled-convict-with-a-gun/?hpid=hp_local-news_fare-evader-516pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.8f8de72436a4[/quote]
