Police responded and located the man inside Conard Learning Center at 1650 University Drive. Initial reports indicate no threats were made.\nUpon speaking with the individual, police determined he had a concealed carry permit, however, this does not allow him to be inside a campus building with the weapon. The gun was confiscated and he was taken into custody. There is no threat to the Mansfield campus community and information of the arrest was shared via Buckeye Alert.\nDue to the ongoing investigation, we do not have additional details to share at this time. The safety of our campus community is our number one priority. Please continue to report suspicious behavior to police and always dial 9-1-1 in emergencies.\n\nDepartment of Public Safety\n\nMichael Blankenship Hall\n901 Woody Hayes Dr.\nColumbus, OH 43210\nPhone: 614-292-2121",
