NEW YORK (WABC) A Metro North employee who was identified as one of the rioters during the Capitol siege has been fired, according to officials.
Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi made the announcement of Will Pepe s firing in a statement on Tuesday. We made it clear since the Jan. 6 attack on our nation s Capitol building that the apparent participation by one of our employees was unacceptable and inconsistent with Metro-North s values, Rinaldi said. After affording Mr. Pepe the due process to which he was entitled under his collective bargaining agreement, we have terminated him today for conduct unbecoming a Metro-North employee.
