About Incident
Police were called to the Graduate Hotel shortly after 1 AM Saturday morning for a report of a disturbance and a man fighting with staff inside the bar.
Upon arrival, police said they encountered the suspect — later identified as Lucas Mohr, age 33 — who was identified by hotel staff.
Mohr was detained in a cruiser, according to police.
