The police went to the house of a Lady in White, Maria de las Mercedes, but she was not home, so her husband Franklin attended to the officials. They began to ask him a series of questions related to Maria, to which he declined to answer. The officers pushed him, verbally threatened him and arrested him. They took him to police unit where he was detained until the next day.
