Its intended fact is to humiliate, shame, and cause extreme distress to the employee. Reporter patrick mcnicholls claims for reasons unclear target managers told Pasadena Police to handcuff graham as he arrived for work. He was then pa rayed through the store into a room and interfwatintered there. He was paraded back out through the store put in a patrol car and take on the police station.

New yorks governor has just ordered a total shutdown of the entire city subway system and that starts at 11 00 tonight. Doug kammerer joins us now. We really dodged one this time didnt we. We did. As that clipper made its way in here. We never forecasted more than 3 to 4 inches in the d. C. Meo area at all so thats not a concern. They he 4 inches towards central park and will get more overnight tonight. That will be a big concern for them. For us our airport officially still under an inch of snow there but still snowing at the airport as we started to see things pick back up again. 34 degrees the current number 33 around 7 00 32 around 9 00. We notice snow and showers coming in snow showers making their way in temperatures below freezing and theyre already below freezing. 29 rockville, 28 gaithersburg 32 in bowie. Anything that falls tonight will start to stick on the roadways and we are getting reports especially into parts of Montgomery County tha we e starting to see some of those secondary roads starting to get snow covered. Theyll be on the slick spot early tomorrow. Now, this is whats going on with our syste and why weve been robbed of all the moisture moving to the north and east. Heres our clipper system. Anytime a clipper comes down normally if it moves to our south its going to provide everybody with a pretty good coating of snow a couple of inches at least. But this system is really helping this one out to the coast to redevelop offshore become a monster storm. Thats whats going on the blizzard making its way up. That secondary system actually robs our system of moisture. Thats why we did not see the snow today. The clipper dies very quickly. The coastal storm develops and we are robbed of good snows. But then we look to the actual big storm off the coast to send us more moisture and thats whats happening right now. Montgomery county seeing some snow. Northwest d. C. Prince georges all seeing some snow. And look whats happening over the last hour. Watch this movement from east to west coming off the ocean. That is a lot more moisture heading in. So we will see some band of heavier snow overnight tonight. Get ready for that and just know that waking up tomorrow morning. I expect to see another inch maybe as much as 2 inches in some areas. Some of you wont get anything, espe west of the i95 corridor. But some of us are going to continue to see it. Thats why we have that Winter Weather advi continuing. High temperature 35 on wednesday but its only going to feel like 20 to 25 all day long. Another chance of snow thursday. This is a minor system. The next chance we have would be next saturday night into sunday. Well talk much more about that on friday. Thanks doug.

Consumer reporter Erika Gonzalez has a warning tonight after several of you told us about travel nightmares with one airline in particular frontier. Well on our honeymoon. Reporter she and her husband wanted a warm and affordable destination for their honeymoon. A great deal to the bahamas so we thought we should book it. Reporter Frontier Airlines advertises ultralowcost flight ts. An emai anoth for 29. Frontier has recently expanded service in our area and added a flights in and out of dulles. Super affordable the 68 one way and 142 back the other way. So all in all we paid like 200 per person to the bahamas. That was a great deal. Reporter but her luck was about to change. So i got an email about a month and a half back in october just like, theres a change i itinerary. Reporter more than a change. The flight was canceled, the hoymoon off. Found tickets for 268 and that said bahamas. We got it. Reporter victoria and tony were also supposed to fly frontier a thanksgiving trip. We were really excited and really bummed that, you know this trip wed been looking forward to canceled three weeks prior. Reporte on facebook we found other passengers who posted similar frustrations with frontier. Traveling from ind thanksgiving week when we got to the airport we were told the flight had been canceled. This post is from a family who planned a trip to disney world because of a frontier flight deal. The post reads, we even sprung for a more expensive resort since we saved so much on airline tickets. But their flight too, was canceled. There seemed to be so many cancellations and delays that we asked frontier about them and complaints theyre getting. A spokesman told us frontier is focusing on lowering complaints and that its Senior Leadership team is directly engaged on the issue in impein performance. Fronti promise of reliable service. I feel like they didnt handle the situar says if a flight is canceled or delayed passengers can get a full refund or rebook with frontier. All three women we interviewed offered for the refund and never took their trips because booking with other air fares were too expensive. I went online similar flight time same dates, the flight was 1,800 out of our budget. Reporter other low Cost Airlines like jetblue, spirit and southwest have the same policy for a canceled flight refund or rebook or airline. Spirit offers 50 for a future flight a. But we didnt find the same kind of complaints for these airlines maybe because they offer more flights. While frontier claims 270 nonstop flights each day, southwest has more than 3,600. Thats a big difference if youre trying to rebook your flight. Will you fly with frontier again . Oh no. Im done. Reporter le to find out how frontiers delays and cancellations compare to other popular lowcost carrier go to our website, nbcwashington. Com, and search frontier.
