About 150 protesters were masked at the barrier set up between Nelson Hall and Siemens hall at Cal Poly Humboldt earlier this week around 10 p.m. Dinners were provided to protesters at various tables, there was dancing and chanting over the speaker warning of arrests due to an unlawful assembly. The warning specifically mentioned possible use of plastic and rubber bullets. Wednesday morning, police continued to guard entrances to Cal Poly Humboldt.
Police at the university didn’t know how long the closure would be effective and told the Times-Standard to leave. The “hard closure” of the campus was announced Friday in an all-campus email, noting that people on campus could face arrest or citation for trespassing. Now, the closure is being enforced by police after a legion of officers from a variety of California agencies arrested protesters sitting in a circle on the quad late Monday night and early Tuesday morning.
At least one of the arrested identified to the Times-Standard as an alum of the university. It’s unclear how alumni were classified by the university among those arrest. Honsal noted in the email that many were detained at the campus:25 were arrested and booked early Tuesday. 6 were arrested during the day Tuesday for trespassing, he wrote.24 people arrested on campus are listed as released by bail bond or cash bail according to the Humboldt County jail release sheet for May 1.
