On Thursday, UCPD arrested a male suspect near UC Berkeley’s North Gate Hall for multiple outstanding warrants, including assault with a deadly weapon, according to UCPD spokesperson Sgt. Nicolas Hernandez.

Hernandez said UCPD received a report early Thursday evening of a man with a gun near Moffitt Library. The officers were able to locate and detain the suspect safely about 5 p.m. near North Gate Hall, but upon searching him found that he was not armed.

The suspect, Arliss Daniels, was still arrested because he had several standing warrants, including battery against an operator, driver or passenger of a motor vehicle and assault with a deadly weapon, according to Hernandez. But Daniels was not armed when he was detained.

“(He had) no other weapons,” Hernandez said. “He did have several items stuffed in his waistband, so maybe it was mistaken for a firearm. … (But) he was arrested for the warrants.”
