Man charged with disorderly conduct after Florida State dining hall disturbance

A Panamanian man was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct after "creating (a) disturbance" Sunday night in Florida State University’s Suwannee Room dining hall, FSU police said.

The dining hall was shut down after Abed Emilio Soleiman Juan, 21, began hitting tables and yelling “The answer is here!” and “Don’t be afraid,” court records show, causing "people (to) panic and flee the area."

University police took "several written statements from witnesses stating they saw Soleiman Juan and heard him yelling, which made them all run," according to a report.

He was identified as a current university student and was carrying "his Republic of Panama license" when apprehended on Landis Green after leaving the dining hall shortly after 7 p.m., police said.

Chief Circuit Judge Jonathan Sjostrom on Monday appointed a "mental health expert" for Soleiman Juan's bail hearing on Wednesday, records show. Until then, he is being held in the county jail.

The Suwannee Room reopened Monday at the usual time of 9:30 a.m., police said.
