Bartolo Cantillo Romero was summoned by Captain Wilson to the police station known as Parque 24 at 10 am. When he arrived, he was interrogated by Lieutenant Colonel Mijaíl who is the chief of the unit, and his deputy Captain Wilson.

According to the officials, based on that he was fulfilling a definition of incitement to commit crimes and defamation of institutions, organizations and heros of the Republic of Cuba. The crime descriptions were read directly from the Cuban Penal Code. The official also told him that in case something similar happened in the city, he would be put in jail. Then they issued an official warning for the above-mentioned crimes. Bartolo did not accept, neither signed the document. He was kept in detention at the police station for about two hours and then he was released.
