Around 1:20 a.m., a Falls Township patrolman heard a banging on the front door and found Carlor, who was requesting his keys so he could get home, police said.
Carlor was advised his keys were not at the police station and had been with the tow company that took his car. He was told by an officer he would have to contact the tow company later, police said.
Carlor started yelling at officers and insisting they had his keys, police said.

The 29 year old reportedly began kicking and attempting to pry open the locked door separating the police station from the lobby, police said.
Officers opened the door to the lobby and told Carlor he was being taken into custody, police said.
