Suit: Man Robbed Four Times at Hotel |
| A Tennessee man has filed a lawsuit against a Kansas-based hotel chain after he was robbed multiple times during a four-day stay at a Salt Lake City hotel. In the suit, the man claims he was robbed at gun point multiple times by the same individual, once being forced to walk to an ATM to withdraw cash. The man says he made hotel management aware of the individual after the first attack, but nothing was done to ensure he was not allowed back into the hotel or taken into custody. The suit is seeking more than $150,000 in damages. Jessica Miller, The Salt Lake Tribune 04/13/2012 | Read Article: The Salt Lake Tribune |
