Metro: Arrested bus driver suspended for 5 days

Published



A Metrobus driver criminally charged with assaulting a rider during a fare dispute earlier this month is now serving an unpaid five-day suspension, according to the transit agency.

Vento Mickens is the latest Metro employee to be arrested on the job by the agency’s own police. Many of the others have been fired, but even so the transit agency has been forced to bring some of them back.
