NEW YORK (WABC) -- A Metro North employee who was identified as one of the rioters during the Capitol siege has been fired, according to officials.
Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi made the announcement of Will Pepe's firing in a statement on Tuesday.
"We made it clear since the Jan. 6 attack on our nation's Capitol building that the apparent participation by one of our employees was unacceptable and inconsistent with Metro-North's values," Rinaldi said. "After affording Mr. Pepe the due process to which he was entitled under his collective bargaining agreement, we have terminated him today for conduct unbecoming a Metro-North employee."
