According to FOX 44, the situation occurred on August 17th, 2025 in the evening. Law enforcement was alerted to an issue at 2400 block of South 31st Street. Police then made their way to the area for what was reported from the call as a “welfare concern."

Police also heard from staff inside the building, wanted to have permanently disallowed from coming back. However, Foster insisted on being taken into custody, and left the building, walking to the officer's vehicle.

What Did Foster Do When He Left The Building?

FOX 44 reports that Foster once again insisted that officer place him under arrest. Law enforcement repeated that they couldn't just arrest him because he requested it. Foster then however, threatened the officer, saying he would hit the officer, and moving towards him with a clenched fist.

At that point, officers then placed him under arrest. At the time of writing, Foster faces a criminal trespass charge, and possibly could see another charge which is unknown at the time of writing.
