Illinois police were called to a public library to arrest a man who was causing a scene in the restroom.

Illinois Man Arrested At The Elmhurst Public Library

I spent a lot of time at the library as a kid either at school or at the public one in my hometown. Back in those days, it was a safe environment for families with no trouble. Everyone treated the place with respect.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case for some libraries these days, especially in bigger cities. It can attract some bad people because it's somewhere they go and hang out all day for free. Plus, there's free internet and computers for them to use.

I recently saw a story about a nice library in Elmhurst that had a problem with one of those unwanted troublemakers who hung out in the building. I'm sure they wish they could keep them out but it's quite difficult.

The librarians had to call the police about a man in their bathroom. Apparently, the guy had passed out on the restroom floor. That kind of makes it difficult for anyone else to use the facilities. He might've even locked himself in the room.

When the officers arrived, they woke up the suspect to kick him out of the building. They decided to search the man before letting him leave. They found a loaded gun and drugs on him. Plus, this incident happened at closing time.

Patch

Instead of just getting kicked out, the man went to jail. Maybe, he enjoyed that because he had somewhere to go for the night instead of sleeping outside. When he sobers up, I'm sure he won't be happy with the situation.
