According to the UCFPD, the suspect — who is not believed to be an enrolled student — stood up in class and threw powder in the air a la James' pregame ritual.
The classroom was evacuated out of caution and an investigation into the incident proved that the substance matched baby powder.
BA1 Update: The suspect stood up in a class that he is not believed to be a student in, and threw powder in the air.
Out of an abundance of caution, we evacuated the classroom and the building while we investigate.

The spilled powder is a match for powdered baby formula. https://t.co/zrMmlGDqZP
