BART driver accused of lewd advance: A BART train operator accused of inviting a female passenger into his cab and asking to fondle her has been charged with two misdemeanors, the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office reported Wednesday.
Calvin Peter Tom, 49, of Brentwood, has been charged with soliciting a lewd act in public and false imprisonment in connection with the Aug. 4 incident.
BART has placed the 14-year train system employee on unpaid leave. He has since resigned, cutting off BART disciplinary proceedings against him.
