31-year-old Josiah Parks was loading chemical containers into a U-Haul truck near lot nine at Vanderbilt University on the afternoon of March 13th. VUPD arrived and observed Parks running back and forth between the sidewalk and the U-Haul, repeatedly throwing a jug of water into the air. Then, Parks ran off towards the Free Electron Laser Center as officers identified themselves. When officers commanded Parks to stop, he refused. Once officers caught up to Parks, they noticed his eyes were bloodshot. When asked, Parks did not have a legitimate reason to be on the property, nor did he have consent to take the property from the owners. Parks was taken into custody for resisting arrest, criminal trespassing, and public intoxication.
