BART fare evasion leads to arrest of felon

( KRON ) — A 46-year-old San Francisco man was arrested on gun charges after first being spotted evading fare at BART’s Civic Center Station, according to the BART Police Department.

Aristotle Harris was stopped by officers on the station’s concourse level after police said they witnessed him fare evade. Harris was cornered and handcuffed after he attempted to flee from BART PD officers, authorities said.

A search of Harris, who is a convicted felon on probation, uncovered a loaded Glock 23 handgun. “An automated record check revealed Harris also had a domestic violence restraining order prohibiting him from possessing a firearm or ammunition,” BART PD said.

Harris was arrested and booked into the San Francisco jail.
