University Police received a call about two suspicious people in the dormitory. When officers arrived on the scene they found a black male and female with a baby inside one of the dorm rooms.

They later told police that they were looking for a tissue and exited the building on their own, refusing to stop and talk to officers. UPD officers pursued the two as far as the Foggy Bottom Metro station, and after being questioned they said that they had no explanation for why they were in the building. Nothing was reported missing.
