"I told him to take it easy," Bittencourt said. Then Bittencourt closed and locked his suite door and called HUPD, which logged the call at 5:30 p.m.
Three officers responded and located Reid after a brief search of the building.
Officer Kevin Bryant placed Reid in custody following a field interview.
"[Reid's] story didn't hold up," said HUPD spokesperson Peggy A. McNamara.
She said that Reid has "used numerous aliases" in the past.
HUPD determined that Reid had been admitted to Currier House by the bells-desk clerk after telling the clerk he was a dining services employee.
Bittencourt said that police told him Reid had gotten out of jail seven months ago, after serving 10 years for armed robbery.
