EMPLOYEE TERMINATED FOR FAILURE TO REPORT ARREST

An Amtrak road foreman based in LaJunta, Colorado, was terminated from employment on December 21, 2021, after our investigation found that the former employee violated company policies by failing to report a March 2021 arrest for driving under the influence as required by company policy and lying to our agents during her interview. In addition, the employee used her position in a supervisory role to direct other employees to lie and provide false statements to our agents. Three additional employees were issued final disciplinary warnings and received suspensions of one week without pay.
