MTA Bus Driver Arrested For Refusing To Drop Off Rider |

Posted by Gold_12TH on Mon Apr 23 13:00:10 2012 We guess it was an hour before request-a-stop kicks in, but still! Last night a 29-year-old MTA bus driver was arrested by the NYPD for not letting a passenger off his bus. Seriously. Driver Michael Luca is now facing charges of resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and unlawful imprisonment.The MTA isn't commenting on the incident, which occurred last night in the Bronx on the corner of Lafayette Avenue and the Throggs Neck Expressway, only pointing us to the NYPD for any info. And according to the police, this is what happened: the "bus driver was ordered numerous times to let the person off the bus but refused. Eventually the driver did open the doors, though, and was arrested." Luca was arrested approximately 8:50 p.m. Police aren't elaborating on what was the problem with the stop the rider wanted, or why the driver was so adamant about not letting his charge off the bus. Any guesses? --- http://gothamist.com/2012/04/23/mta_bus_driver_arrested_for_refusin.php |
