He stopped being a passenger when he stepped off the train on his own and was refused reentry. The threat to passengers and crew was ended. He was at a safe location, being an active, open, manned station. I understand what your saying Mike. But the Law looks strongly on individual responsibility, and intoxication is not an excuse. He was left at an active and manned station. Police do not need to be called unless the person is refusing to comply. OR if his behavior caused such a concern for the safety of other passengers that the Conductor believes that the person needs to be extricated before reaching a safe location, IE: active, open, manned station. Train will be stopped at a specific location such as a highway crossing, and person extricated under Police assistance, and charges pressed, most likely. That's where Police would normally be called to attend. Debate here about this can continue forever. It will be left to the family to file. A Judge to determin if the case has merit. A jury to decide final disposition.
