rolled up

Wrapped into cylinder

Rolled up describes something that has been formed into a cylinder or tube by turning it over on itself: a rolled-up newspaper, rolled-up sleeves.

When someone has rolled up somewhere, they've arrived, often casually or unexpectedly: He rolled up an hour late.

In British slang, rolled up can also mean arrested or caught by police.
