| Description | Transit police handcuffed and issued a citation to a man who sold a $1.75 subway token to another man who was having trouble with a token machine.
A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, Jocelyn Baker, said Friday that an officer who spotted Donald Pirone, 42, selling the token on Nov. 30 inside a subway station could have given the man only a warning and sent him on his way.
But, Baker said the officer decided to handcuff Pirone and give him a citation for the misdemeanor offense because a 1992 state law prohibits passengers from selling tokens. |
