EMeRG members and D.C. Fire and EMS officials rolled an older man out of the Marvin Center Great Hall Monday on a gurney at about 3:40 p.m., after Metropolitan and University Police Department detained him.
University spokeswoman Michelle Sherrard said officers found the individual, previously barred from campus, sleeping in the building. At least eight officers seated the handcuffed man in a chair and questioned him, and shortly after, the EMS officials transported the subject into an ambulance.
MPD officer Hugh Carew said UPD called in about the incident at 2:53 p.m. for an unlawful entry incident. The man had “a badly swollen ankle from a previous medical condition,” Sherrard said.
