Washington: A US woman has been arrested for speaking
loudly on her mobile phone for 16 hours while travelling in a
train, a media report said Sunday.
According to her co-passengers, Lakeysha Beard repeatedly ignored
their requests to be quiet, Portland's KATU News reported.
The train staff eventually asked her to stop using her phone,
which reportedly led to a verbal altercation and the police being
called. The police in the US state of Oregon have charged her with
disorderly conduct.
Speaking after the incident to KATU News, Beard said she felt
"disrespected" by the incident.
