There was a disturbance at the Marriott Library on Monday, the exact cause of which remains unclear.
U campus police were called to the library shortly before 10 a.m. on Monday for an unknown disruption. Two squad cars and four officers dealt with an unidentified man who did not appear to be a student or faculty member.
The incident occurred near the Eccles Grand Reading Room on the third floor but did not seem to impact normal library operations or last for a long period of time.
Students saw the police but did not have any details on what went on.
“I was walking in and saw them [two campus policemen] escorting a guy out — I couldn’t tell if he was causing a problem,” said Taylor Swenson, a junior in biology.
Sam Earl, a sophomore in finance, said that “they talked for like, 15 minutes … the guy that got escorted out was slow to move, he didn’t want to leave, probably because he was embarrassed by the two cops and library administration talking to him.”
“I heard some people made complaints but I don’t know what about,” said Swenson.
There was a small commotion, but the individual complied with police instructions and there was no lapse in library services.
Marriott Library security personnel had no comment and Sgt. Garth Smith of campus security did not respond to interview requests before the time of print.
