A man accused of selling a MARTA token to a passenger having trouble with a token machine must stand trial on the criminal charge.
Judge Stephanie Davis decided Tuesday that Donald Pirone's case should be bound over to state court for trial. Pirone could face a year in jail.
An officer spotted Pirone selling the token on Nov. 30 inside the West End subway station. Following a 1992 state law that prohibits passengers from selling tokens, the officer handcuffed Pirone and gave him a citation.
Pirone says he was trying to help a fellow passenger. He says he did not ask for money and that the passenger gave him $1.75 †the price of a token †out of generosity.
