I was driving to dinner today and saw a whole street blocked off by police officers. I had no idea what was going on and it looked to be pretty serious. When I got back to my room from dinner, this is what I saw.

If you click on the link, you can even see pictures of a SWAT team on the scene. I guess it's just another instance of Big Brother flexing his muscles.

Local police took a man into custody tonight after hours of carefully searching an apartment building on the University of Illinois campus.
Since late afternoon, Champaign, Urbana and University of Illinois police had been trying to clear an apartment building on the University of Illinois campus following an armed robbery.

Police believed the robber had gone into the three-story apartment building at 512 S. Third St., C, according to police Chief R.T. Finney.
Finney said a robbery occurred outside the building this evening and that the robbery suspect then ran into the garage.
Police blocked off portions of nearby streets as they were "trying to clear the building," Finney said.
