Upon arrival, contact was made with the manager who directed the troopers to a female in the lobby that was causing a disturbance and refusing to leave. The female, identified as Laquisha Monae Young, 21 years old, of Washington DC, was escorted out of the building and issued a No Trespass Notice.

The Troopers also responded to the room rented by Ms. Young and made contact with the male occupant and escorted him out of the building.
