Metro reports two recent disturbances, zero crimes against property in two‑week period
Summary
Metro staff reported two recent disturbances on MetroLink over the past two weeks — one passenger threatened a security officer with a bottle opener and a separate incident included spitting and narcotics possession — and said crimes against property were zero in that period.
Bi‑State staff reported two recent disturbance incidents on MetroLink over the past two weeks and said there were zero reported crimes against property in that same window.
Sergeant Harris Floyd, reporting for county police coverage, said one incident involved a passenger producing a bottle opener and a second involved a rider spitting on a group of people at a station; officers arrested an individual who was later found to be in possession of narcotics. Floyd said there were no property crimes in the two‑week reporting period.
The commission received the safety update during routine reports and did not take formal action on the incidents. The report was presented so commissioners and staff could monitor trends and consider operational or staffing responses as part of broader safety and budget planning.
