NEWARK, NJ — Six individuals were arrested during protests at Delaney Hall from Saturday into Sunday, according to Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, Sr.

The arrests were made after suspects were observed committing property damage and blocking the entrance of Delaney Hall, Miranda said.

Police declared an unlawful assembly after the individuals refused to comply with orders to disperse.

“Blocking the entrance is a public safety hazard that puts everyone, including the detainees, in danger,” Miranda said.

Two of the arrestees had previously been arrested on June 1.

Those arrested were identified as Allison Wuu, 19, of Fort Collins, Colorado; Lucas Jimenez, 18, of Hoboken; Drew Larsen, 28, of Brooklyn, New York; Solomon Dunston, 30, of Bordentown; Rayaan Baywa, 22, of Riverside, Connecticut; and Julianna Wurst, 19, of Old Bridge.

Each suspect faces a charge of rioting/failure to disperse.
