According to thedp.com/index.php/article/.../penn_police_evacuate_meyerson_hall "At Meyerson Hall on December 10th around10:45 a.m., a security officer seen a man wearing a white hood acting in a strange around Meyerson Hall. The man left a briefcase outside the entrance of the building, prompting the security officer to take evasive action.Penn Police and the Philadelphia bomb squad determined that there was no bomb in the briefcase and that it posed no danger.The man was taken into custody Saturday as he was “acting peculiar his arms and talking incoherently,” upon being interviewed by police. The individual was then involuntarily committed into a nearby mental asylum for 72 hours. Caution tape was put up, enclosing the area between Meyerson, Fisher Fine Arts Library and College Hall. However, only Meyerson was evacuated."
As this incident occurred myself and other Upward Bound members who was having our regular Saturday class at the time we were quicky evacuated. At first we was all freaking out because only thing the only thing we knew is that it was a "scare" and that the police wanted us to leave immediately. It wasn't until a half hour later we were informed what was going on. After they came to the conclusion that there was no bomb we all got our things and went home. The next time we met they said that he had a history with the school and that his act had nothing to do with us. They also said after his mental evaluation it will be determined what the consequences will be.
