"Thomas, who has been with the MTA since 2007, has an arrest record including a robbery and menacing bust in 1993 and an assault from April 2011, according to cops."
Serious question, not having a go at anyone here... why wouldn't such a criminal record preclude hiring for a public safety position? Why wouldn't the recent conviction for assault have resulted in him being fired? Are there rules, standards or procedures covering this?
