He's not the only one to have done it either, but he is the only one to get caught so far.

I used to work for the Long Island RR and they had wanted posters with his pic on them plastered all over the place in the non-public areas of the RR.

remembered him from his last jailings.
a nice guy he really needs to get community support in place rather than prison setting him up to fail everytime he gets out,CBT wont help him in own view.

30th arrest: Notorious transit thief Darius McCollum says he needs help not prison

Darius, an unfortunate welcome to world of lack of help for adult autistics

NYC seeks to recover money made off transit impostor's film

Quote:
In a Brooklyn court Monday, McCollum rejected a plea deal that would have sent him to prison for up to 10 years. He's pleaded in every other criminal case against him.

His long time attorney has requested that his case be sent to mental health court, reports CBS New York.

"He is on the autism spectrum. He has Asperger's," Butler said in court

I've always liked him. He doesn't deserve jail.

I used to wish he could get a job with the MTA.

Yeah. Once you get over laughing about this you realize that it is sad. He is not a bad criminal person who victimizes people. He is just an innocent person with a compulsion.So he needs therapy, and not punishment. Maybe he can help run the steam train in Lancaster County Pennsylvania thats associated with the railroad museum there.
