UCPD officers found an individual in possession of handgun ammunition inside UC Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union building Wednesday, according to UCPD Lt. Nicholas Hernandez. 

Officers responded to a report of disturbance at the building at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Feb. 8, Hernandez stated in an email. After identifying the suspect, the officers arrested the individual on-site for an outstanding arrest warrant at the time. During the search incident to arrest, they found a single round of handgun ammunition on the person. 

The individual was taken to Santa Rita Jail on the suspected charges of “Disturbing the Peace, Felon in Possession of Ammunition, and a Probation Violation,” Hernandez said in the email.
