Police Search McPherson Square Occupy Camp For Oscar Ramiro Ortega

Police in the nation’s capital searched the Occupy D.C. encampment in McPherson Square on Monday for a 21-year-old man wanted in Friday night’s incident where gunfire was reported near the White House.

As the Washington Examiner reported, U.S. Park Police officers conducted a “sweep” of the park and were seen pulling an Occupy protester out of a tent and questioning him.

That search was unsuccessful, The Associated Press reported. Park Police Sgt. David Schlosser told the AP that callers informed police that a man matching the description of Oscar Ramiro Ortega was seen in the park, located two blocks north of the White House.

On Sunday, an arrest warrant was issued for Oretga, a man whom police have linked to Friday night’s incident near the White House were reports of gunfire prompted police to shutdown Constitution Avenue NW and streets adjacent to it.
