We do go there often.
Hi, I'm Ryan Ademan. The explorer that was arrested in the earlier post.
It was technically our fault too. We weren't nearly as unsloppy as we should have been about it.
We parked in our usual spot, about an eighth of a mile off campus, and made the usual troop to the hospital. It snowed the night before, and they hadn't plowed yet, so we took the woods to the back of the building. Once back there I figured footprints wouldn't matter, cause they never did, so we walked the driveway until we found one of our entrances. that hadn't been recently sealed.
Made it inside, and explored for a few hours with no problems. A plow driver did come through and clear the snow, but even after he left, we encountered no problems, so we thought we were gold.
We left via our normal route, made it back to the car, packed our stuff in the car, and got in. As soon as the driver put the car in reverse, he put it back in park. I asked what he was doing and he said to look behind us. There were two cruisers with lights on blocking us in. None of us even saw them pull in.
5 were arrested. 4 charged with trespassing. I got trespassing plus B&E with intent to commit a felony, because I tried to tell the cops I was the only one who went in. I'm still not really sure what the alleged felony is though. We made it out of everything with court fines, probation, and community service. Could have been worse.
On the brighter side of things though, the cops all loved the Abandoned Dreams site and my photography, stating they "could see why we do what we do, but they had a job to do".
Most we can figure is the plow guy saw our footprints, called it in, and they were waiting for us on the side of the building we'd parked at. Either that, or they need raises for being super ninja cops.
Sorry for jumping in here on this when I don't know anyone on this site, but I noticed a bunch of traffic coming to my site from here, so I wanted to see what was going on. Thought I'd lay down exactly what happened.
Anyways, this is where we were arrested. It's known on the internet more by it's nickname "CandyCorn Hospital"
