Trespassing. Police responded to a local hotel after receiving a call about a 68-year-old woman from Montana hurling racial slurs and yelling at staff over $2.
When officers arrived, the woman was still standing in the lobby ad was trying to talk to them as they asked the manager a couple of questions, according to an incident report. Police instructed her to wait outside as they spoke with the manager, who informed them she wanted the woman trespassed.
The woman later told police that she wished to be refunded about $2, and raised her voice at police when officers suggested she try to take the matter in a "civil direction," the report states. Police then informed her she needed to leave the property. When she refused, police asked for her ID, at which point she refused and began to walk away.
The woman was detained and, while police were able to handcuff her, she would not let go of her purse.
Witnesses told police that the woman was screaming in the lobby prior to their arrival and made racially derogative comments toward hotel staff. However, staff declined to press charges in the end and "all parties agreed that there was a miscommunication amongst themselves," the report states.
The woman was released and police explained to her why her actions that night were wrong.
