Crime Doesn't Pay in a Washington DC Subway!

But...what was the crime here? I am still trying to figure that out. Seems to me that this was a pretty large waste of Law Enforcement Resources. Not to mention the pure rediculousness of "Outlawing" consumption of a candy bar. I mean, have an ordinance against littering and I will support it! But how can you ARREST someone for eating a candybar? Yeesh!!
