18-year-old Omar Ali Yussuf and two other unidentified males were aggressively panhandling near Broadway Avenue and Representative John Lewis Way North on the night of May 7th. Then, they stepped in front of and followed multiple people while trying to solicit. Officers observed this and approached them, during which Yussuf and one of the males, later identified as a 15-year-old, ran away and disregarded their commands to stop. Officers eventually caught up to them and recognized Yussuf from previous soliciting incidents, where he had been warned that his actions were illegal. Yussuf was then taken into custody for aggressive panhandling, evading arrest, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
