BOSTON (WHDH) - A man who tried to avoid paying his MBTA fare was arrested Thursday after transit police found he had several outstanding warrants.
Members of the Transit Police Department’s Crime Suppression Team spotted 24-year-old Joshua Sanders of Dorchester hopping the fence at Andrew Square Station in order to avoid paying train fare just after 1 p.m., according to police.
As they were issuing Sanders a citation for the misdemeanor, officers discovered that there were several outstanding warrants for his arrest including one for assault and battery on a police officer and one for indecent assault and battery on a person over the age of 14.
It’s unclear when he will be arraigned.
