Skyman, I may be wrong about this, but I recall hearing reports at the time that she shoved the candy bar into her mouth as ordered just as she headed down the stairs, and that the Metro officer followed her because she was angry about her attitude. Word at the time was she was "chewing" on the way down. I take metro daily, so I'm familiar with the system, though I've never had any trouble with the authories at all and have always found them pleasant enough. Have you heard differently on this? That the woman was actually ignoring the order and continued eating after ordered to stop? Thanks.
Forgive my question, but since I'm not familiar with the Metro system what was the problem with her having a candy bar?
I wasn't there, so I have to rely on the local ratmedia ... as I recall from a comPost article she more or less ignored the cop, and finished her candybar as quickly as possible. She claimed she wasn't actually on Metro property when she was eating, cop claimed she was. IIRC, when he wrote the ticket she got mouthy.
