Description
Got a call around 3am on the hotel phone saying that I needed to come to the front desk to meet police for a warrant in my name. Called the real police and asked about a warrant, they said there was no warrant for my arrest and to not leave my room until they arrived. The caller assured me they didn’t have time to talk and I needed to come downstairs to be served a warrant. There was a grey Prius outside behind my car when I peaked out of the window. When brought to the hotel managers attention they claimed to have no knowledge of this.
