An employee from a downtown motel contacted police on Nov. 21 to report that a window had been broken in one of the rooms. A housekeeper discovered the broken window early in the morning, according to a report from the Moab City Police Department. A guest who was staying in a nearby room said he saw another guest attempting to move a ladder that was chained near the laundry room. The man told other other guest he had locked himself out of his room and was trying to move the ladder to the door so he could open the louvers above the door and reach the doorknob, according to the police report.
The guest said the man was barefoot and “reeked of alcohol,” and did not want the motel’s staff or police called to help, according to the report.
The motel manager declined to file charges. The man had already left the motel when the damage was discovered. The man’s credit card will be charged $400 to replace the window, according to the report.
