Inhibit_movement [agentive]
An Agent restricts the movement of a Theme to within the vicinity of the Holding_location, despite the Theme's desire, plan, or tendency towards motion; the Agent may also use an Instrument. Alternatively, there may be a non-sentient Cause instead of an Agent restricting the Theme.
For many of these targets, the means is incorporated. For some LUs, the Theme is required to be a sentient entity. Several of these LUs may be used to describe punishment situations when the Theme is a sentient entity.
They held the package for two months in the border-patrol locker room .
