MMA locomotive engineer arrested at gunpoint The Crown announced late Monday that the Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway (MM&A) and three of its former employees — Jean Demaitre (manager of train operations), Richard Labrie (railway traffic controller) and engineer Tom Harding — would each face 47 counts of criminal negligence causing death, one count for each person who died in the Lac-Megantic tragedy in 2013. Accused locomotive engineer Tom Harding is a member of the United Steelworkers Union, and the leadership there is outraged at his arrest. Hardings attorney, Thomas Walsh, told CBC News: Basically Mr. Harding was at home in the backyard, working on his boat with his son and a friend ... when the SWAT squad showed up, heavily armed ... and told everybody to get down on the ground and there was sirens wailing all over the place. They came in like gangbusters ... all dressed in camouflage outfits, faces hidden and their guns drawn. Full story below.
