Ms. Siyonbola produced the key to her apartment and opened the door, and the officers told her they needed to see her ID. After she asked why, one says, “I don’t know anybody from anybody, so I’m here just to make sure you’re supposed to be here, make sure she’s supposed to be here, and we’ll get out of your hair.”Ms. Siyonbola relented and handed over her ID. But the officers struggled to verify it, and Ms. Siyonbola appeared to grow more frustrated. The Yale Police Department referred inquiries to the university. “We believe the Yale police who responded followed procedures,” Tom Conroy, a spokesman for the university, said on Wednesday.
