University Police Sergeant Lawrence Salotti said yesterday that police found the first man in the building's loading dock. The man was also wanted by Philadelphia Police for robbery. Officers discovered the second man inside the main part of the building. Salotti said there was not a warrant out for his arrest. Police cited both men and charged them with trespassing. In an unrelated incident, University Police responded to the report of a brawl inside of Smokey Joe's Tavern at 12:03 a.m. on Thursday morning. Upon arriving at the scene, officers stopped a man they saw fleeing from the scene. No complaint was filed, so police warned the man and released him. Salotti said he did not know what sparked the incident, or if the combatants were University affiliated. -- Steven Rosenberg
