A 12-year-old girl found out the hard way that there’s no snacking allowed in the Washington, D.C. subway.
Seventh-grader Ansche Hedgepeth was handcuffed, booked and fingerprinted for eating French fries in a northwest Washington subway station.
Ansche told police she knew she wasn’t supposed to eat in the station but didn’t think she would get arrested. Ansche’s mother Tracey Hedgepeth, who has written a complaint letter to the Metro Transit Police Department, said police went too far.
“I can’t believe there isn’t a better way to teach kids a lesson,” she said. “The police treated her like a criminal.”
But Metro Transit Police Chief Barry J. McDevitt is unapologetic about the girl’s arrest last month and others like it.
“We really do believe in zero tolerance,” he said.
Chief Barry J. McDevitt is a despicable lump of flesh that I would not call human. Obviously he is completely incapable of empathy. This is the characteristic of a psychopath.
