Man blows his nose, ends up in jail
It all started with a man trying to blow his nose.
He was using paper towels off of the maintenance cart at the Ashby MARTA station, however, and that’s when the police got involved.
Alfred Murphy and another man walked up to one of the maintenance carts at the MARTA station Monday afternoon, according to a police report. Murphy grabbed some paper towels from the cart and began blowing his nose.
A MARTA police officer saw Murphy and told him he couldn’t take those paper towels – they didn’t belong to him, a police report said.
Murphy kept on pulling the paper towels from the cart – and blowing his nose.
The officer again told Murphy to stop.
Murphy continued, saying because he paid his MARTA fare, he was entitled to the items on the cart, the police report said.
I do not agree with the assertion, just because you paid your fare your "entitled"
but this is ridiculous ....
