Police say the 19-year-old employee of Malace, a third party housekeeping contractor at the facility, was attempting to leave the building after his shift around 4:00 P.M. in a Chevy HHR with two other Malace employees in the vehicle, but was blocked by a line of UAW members picketing outside the building.
