A New Jersey man was arrested on an Amtrak passenger train in Reidsville after causing a disturbance. According to the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded at around 8 am to an Amtrak passenger train, which was stationary near US 29 Business and Narrow Gauge Road in Reidsville.

The train stopped at that location due to an intoxicated passenger on the train causing a disturbance and removing his clothing. Upon their arrival, deputies boarded the train where they encountered Akeem O. Wilson, 41, of Irvington, NJ.

Wilson was extremely intoxicated and had removed all of his clothing, with the exception of his undershirt and underwear. Wilson refused to cooperate with train officials’ requests to put his clothing back on, gather his belongings and disembark the train.

Wilson was subsequently placed under arrest by deputies and was removed from the train. No one was injured during the disturbance on the train and the train resumed its travel after Wilson was removed.

Wilson was placed in the Rockingham County Detention Facility under a $5,000 secured bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 20.
