A Gainesville, Florida man, 38, was arrested at about 9 p.m. March 6 after he failed to pay his bill and refused to leave Sonesta ES Suites, 17525 Rosbough.
Sonesta’s front desk clerk called police at about 8 p.m. to report the man. Police went to his room and advised him to leave.
The man told police he had paid for his room through March 10. Police said Sonesta had no record of him paying and again told him to leave. They said the man could call Sonesta’s corporate office in the morning to resolve the issue.
Police warned the man that he would be arrested for trespassing if he didn’t leave in two hours. They told the hotel clerk to call back if the man didn’t leave.
One hour later, the hotel clerk called police again, saying that the man was calling the front desk and harassing her. Police returned to the hotel and used a key card to unlock the door of the man’s door.
However, the man refused to unlock the door latch. Police received permission from hotel management to force open the door.
Police forced their way into the room and ordered the man to gather his belongings and get out. He walked out of the building and onto the sidewalk at the hotel entrance.
Police told the man he had to leave the hotel property entirely but he refused.
A Sprague man called police at about 12:15 a.m. March 6 and said that a BB hit the side of his apartment building while he was outside smoking a cigar.
When police arrived, the man said he suspected another man who was in the parking lot. Police interviewed the suspect, who said he was not carrying a BB gun.
Police asked the suspect for permission to search his car. The man said OK, but police did not find a BB gun in the car.
Police searched the ground but did not find a BB.
Someone stole the identify of a Robert Drive man and used it withdraw $10,000 from his bank account.
The man reported the incident at about 8:30 p.m. March 11. The bank is investigating.
