There has been another arrest for eating on the Metro, and this time the scofflaw is an adult. Stephanie Willett is 45 years old and works for the EPA, and she was arrested last week after eating a PayDay candy bar inside the faregates of the Metro Center station. The last publicized arrest was that of 12-year-old Ansche Hedgepeth, who was arrested in 2000 for eating fries at the Tenleytown station. Willett claims that she was “chewing” in the Metro station, and therefore didn’t break the law, but Metro spokesperson Lisa Farbstein says that chewing is eating.
