Bennett claimed he was at the location to visit an unknown friend. He could not tell authorities the friend's address and said he did not have a cell phone with him.

The 25-year-old had the smell of alcohol on his breath. Police said one of the reasons he was taken into custody was to prevent him from possibly becoming a victim of a crime.
