Rumors Of Intoxicated Person Disrupt Tuesday Morning BART Commute

BART riders faced stoppages and delays Tuesday morning, after their police force was eluded by a "possibly intoxicated person."

According to BART, at about 8:15 this morning, BART police received "more than one report" of an altered person on an East Bay train.

The suspect train was held for eight minutes at the Lafayette Station, and then for another eight at Rockridge station while BART police searched for the intoxicated man or woman, but couldn't find a thing, a BART dispatcher says.

The train was back in regular service as of 8:33 a.m.
