The Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada (The Center) got a scare late on April 15 when one person was arrested after an employee triggered a panic alarm.

Officers were called down after the alarm was activated around 8:45pm, this according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Charles Jenkins. An employee had activated the alarm after witnessing a fight between a man and two security guards.

Michael Domingo, CEO of The Center, said an individual who “has been troublesome before and had been trespassed from the property” went into the building and became confrontational, reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Domingo claims it was at this point that one security guard asked the individual to leave, followed by a second guard who made the same request. According to Domingo, that’s when the man “turned on the security guards” and the employee activated the alarm.

Police took the man into custody and he was charged with a misdemeanor battery. Jenkins confirmed that a medic responded, although the two security guards were not injured.

The Center is located in downtown Las Vegas at 401 S Maryland Parkway, near the intersection of Lewis Avenue.
