Man runs vehicle into library to try to be deported

Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle 

An Egyptian national, described by police as mentally ill, rammed his car this evening into the downtown Houston Public Library, 500 McKinney.

The man, Amin Hamby, 33, told Houston police officers he had lapsed on his medication. Hamby was arrested and authorities are filing state criminal mischief charges against him, said Sgt. Michelle Sandoval, a Houston Police Department spokesman. Hamby will ultimately be turned over to immigration authorities for deportation, she added.

Library crewmen this evening were cleaning up broken glass, but no other damage was apparent. There were no injuries reported.
