UPDATE: Metro cops arrest track worker in station

Published



UPDATE  4:50 p.m. Robert Moss remains a paid Metro employee, Metro spokesman Steven Taubenkibel clarified Friday afternoon, and will not be placed on administrative leave as he originally stated. Because the incident occurred off-duty, Metro’s track maintenance department will address the issue when Moss next reports for duty.

Update 2:25 p.m.: Metro has changed its mind and decided to release the name of the employee who was arrested at Pentagon City on Thursday evening: Robert Moss, who has been with the transit agency since 2006. The incident also began on the station platform, inside the passenger area, spokesman Steven Taubenkibel added.
