East Lansing, Michigan – Un incidente in el edificio Wells Hall de la Universidad Estatal de Michigan (MSU) ha resultado en el arresto de un hombre y el cierre prolongado de una de las mayores instalaciones académicas del campus. Las autoridades detuvieron a un individuo por operar un laboratorio de metanfetamina dentro del edificio, según reportes de WILX.
El lunes, la universidad evacuó el Wells Hall tras detectar la presencia de un “químico no identificado”. Aunque inicialmente se indicó que no existía una amenaza para el campus, las autoridades decidieron extender el cierre del edificio hasta el 1 de mayo después de recibir información adicional que sugería la necesidad de una evaluación más exhaustiva, según informó The State News.
La policía de MSU, junto con el Departamento de Bomberos de East Lansing, respondieron a la escena para evaluar la sustancia. El subjefe adjunto de policía de MSU, Chris Rozman, declaró el lunes que la evacuación se realizó “por precaución” y que no se percibía ninguna amenaza inmediata para la comunidad, según The State News.
El Wells Hall, ubicado cerca de People’s Park, alberga los departamentos de matemáticas, inglés y todas las lenguas de la universidad. La universidad ha informado que los estudiantes con exámenes programados en el edificio recibirán notificaciones sobre nuevas ubicaciones a través de la oficina del registrador.
Aunque las autoridades inicialmente indicaron que no había una amenaza conocida, FOX 2 Detroit reportó que la evacuación se debió a la resolución de un incidente relacionado con un químico. Sin embargo, el arresto posterior por la operación del laboratorio de metanfetamina sugiere una situación más compleja de lo que se informó inicialmente.
Las autoridades continúan investigando el incidente y han pedido a la comunidad universitaria que evite el área hasta nuevo aviso. WLNS 6 News informó que el edificio permanecerá cerrado para permitir una evaluación completa de la situación.

LIVE FROM HARRISBURG WITH MORE ON WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS. MICHAEL. WELL, LORI AND JERRY, I’LL TELL YOU, IT’S BEEN MORE THAN 15 YEARS SINCE LAWMAKERS RAISED THE MINIMUM WAGE TO 7.25 HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA. NOW, TONIGHT, WE SPOKE WITH RESIDENTS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES WHO HAVE A RENEWED SENSE OF HOPE. BUT THEY ALL TELL US THAT SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE AS THEY BELIEVE THAT THE KEYSTONE STATE IS WELL BEHIND THE TIMES. HOW DO YOU LIVE OFF? 725 THAT IS CRAZY. TONIGHT, RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES IN HARRISBURG ARE REACTING TO A POTENTIAL INCREASE IN PENNSYLVANIA’S MINIMUM WAGE, BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT IT’S STILL 7.25. I STARTED WORKING WHEN I WAS 14 YEARS OLD AT MCDONALD’S IN MY LOCAL AREA, AND IT WAS 725 THEN TO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, TEN YEARS LATER, IT’S STILL THE SAME, SAME PRICE. I THINK THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS. MANY OF THE KEYSTONE STATE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS HAVE LONG SINCE RAISED THEIR MINIMUM WAGE, WITH SOME SURPASSING THE PROPOSED $15. HARRISBURG RESIDENT BOURDAIN SMITH SAYS THAT $15 THAT ISN’T ENOUGH, BUT HE’S GLAD IT’S SOMETHING DEFINITELY A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, I WOULD SAY. YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO LIVE OFF 7 OR $15 A DAY RIGHT NOW. BUT YOU KNOW, IT’S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT’S GOING TO HELP COMPARED TO THE 725. DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE NIKKI RIVERA, WHO COVERS EAST PETERSBURG AND PARTS OF MANHEIM TOWNSHIP AND LANCASTER, AGREES. IF THERE’S SOMEBODY THAT YOU VALUE IN HIRING, THEN YOU VALUE IN PAYING THEM AN AFFORDABLE LIVING WAGE. 15 GETS US CLOSER TO THAT NUMBER. IT DOESN’T REACH IT, BUT IT GETS US CLOSER THAN 725. BUT NOT EVERYONE SEES IT THE SAME WAY. SOME LAWMAKERS HAVE RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT HOW IT COULD IMPACT SMALL BUSINESSES. IF YOU’RE PAYING YOUR EMPLOYEES $15, AS REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT, SOMEONE’S GOING TO PAY FOR THAT. SO CHANCES ARE WHAT YOU’RE PAYING FOR A HAMBURGER RIGHT NOW IS GOING TO DOUBLE. IF THE MINIMUM WAGE GOES TO $15 AN HOUR. SO WE SPOKE TO A SMALL BUSINESS TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF THE CUSTOMER HAS TO REALLY PICK IT UP ON THE BACK END. YOU KNOW, LIKE PEOPLE RAISE THEIR PRICES ALL THE TIME. KAYLA CABRERA OF NICO’S PIZZA ADDRESSES THE CLAIM THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE TO PICK UP THE EXPENSE. BUT SHE SAYS IN THE END, IT’S ABOUT DOING RIGHT BY YOUR EMPLOYEES TO KEEP A GOOD EMPLOYEE, YOU NEED TO PAY YOUR EMPLOYEE, YOU KNOW, TO KEEP A GOOD EMPLOYEE, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A LIVABLE WAGE. THEY CAN PAY THEIR BILLS, COME TO WORK, GET THEIR KIDS TO DAYCARE. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK IT’S WORTH IT TO PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES MORE. AND AS WE MENTIONED, THE HOUSE PASSED THAT VOTE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT CLEAR WHEN OR IF THE SENATE WILL TAKE I
