Prank leads Fla. couple to trash hotel room
Thursday, July 9, 2009
ORLANDO, Fla. - Authorities say a prankster persuaded a married couple to
smash their Florida hotel window after falsely telling them the room had a
gas leak. Police say a person claiming to be a front-desk clerk at an
Orlando hotel convinced the couple to break a wall mirror and use a lamp to
punch a hole through the wall. The couple also threw a mattress out the
window, but a hotel manager came to the room before they could jump.
The manager told the couple there was no gas leak. The manager also said
employees had received a memo from the hotel's corporate office warning that
dangerous pranks were being pulled at hotels in other states.
The prank cost about $5,000 in damages. Police say the couple was not
arrested Monday because they thought it was an emergency. The hotel has not
asked them to pay.
