Metro track worker placed on leave

Metro has placed a track worker on paid administrative leave after he was arrested Thursday by Metro Transit Police and charged with being drunk in public and impeding a police officer with force, Ann Scott Tyson reports over at Dr. Gridlock.

Robert Moss, an employee with Metro's Track and Structures/Systems Maintenance Department who had been with Metro since 2006, was off duty at the time of his arrest. Police noticed Moss was unsteady on his feed and approached him. Moss ran and then struggled with officers as they apprehended him, Metro said.
