An American citizen, identified as William Russell Nycum, has been detained in Russia after allegedly engaging in disorderly conduct. Reports indicate that Nycum was intoxicated when he entered a children's library in Moscow, where he undressed and fell asleep. A Moscow court has sentenced him to 10 days in administrative detention for what has been described as 'petty hooliganism'. The incident has raised concerns as it appears to be another case of an American being taken into custody in Russia under controversial circumstances.
