Fresno police arrest naked man found in ceiling of plasma donation center

Fresno police responded to the Grifols Biomat USA Plasma Center after a donor noticed a pair of eyes looking down from the ceiling. Officers discovered a 30‑year‑old man hidden inside the ceiling structure, completely naked. The suspect resisted, kicked objects and threw a pipe that nearly struck an officer, prompting police to use pepper balls to subdue him.

The incident forced the evacuation of about 41 people from the plasma center and surrounding businesses in the strip mall, including an insurance office, a pool‑supply store, a gym and a hair salon. The man was taken into custody, hospitalized, and faces charges of felony vandalism, resisting arrest and assault with a deadly weapon.
