It appears the majority of people arrested for occupying the PSU library for the last 3 days were not students. There were a number of 30 and 40 year olds, as well as at least one 60 year old. One arrestee, Elijah Lane, is a federally convicted drug trafficker from Philadelphia. Others also have various criminal records if you look them up.

Here’s some of the amazing amount of damage they did:

Current damage estimates are $750,000 give or take $125,000. That total doesn’t include replacing and repairing damaged technology and furniture.

Rare books and records were saved because a quick thinking staff member sealed off the room before fleeing.
