Plea Bargains

I have some kind of mixed emotions here.  Part of me likes to see someone serve time for the crime they committed.  In this case, Ms Gazlay assaulted me with a pen.  This pen could be considered a “deadly weapon”, which was a reason for the original charge of Aggravated Battery.  The Read more

Broken Mirror

Last Friday, March 22, 2013, I got woke up by Boise Police because of a disturbance call. I let them in, they went to go check the room. When they came back up to the front desk, they told me there was broken glass and so forth. I went and Read more

Motel Employee stabbed by ballpoint pen

So, last night, I had just finished my the first part of my split shift for the day. As an assistant manager at the Rodeway Inn, I never thought I would have to deal with the following situation.

Mr. Stanton had just arrived with his students from Ririe Junior High School. They brought us about 20 or so rooms while they come on a field trip to Boise. The students were away from the Bus, as the teachers were unloading some things from the Bus. A customer had been at the Hotel for about a week. She thought it was a good idea to go out on her balcony and begin to cuss and yell and offend Mr. Stanton and the other teachers. And to top it off, she was being drunk and disorderly.

This was reported to my front desk clerk, Misty, who then reported it to me. I then had to ask Miss Nanette Gazlay to leave, because my job is to protect my customers. I gave her a few minutes to grab her things, she came down to the desk and gave my desk clerk a hard time. At 6:58 pm, I had no choice but to call Boise Police Dispatch. As I was talking to the dispatcher on the phone, Nanette ran up behind me and “stabbed” me in the back with a pen. I yelled “I have just been stabbed”.

Unfortunate

We had a customer who has been staying with us for quite some time.  His name was Kim Smith.  He was a very nice guy and we are approaching the holidays.  He had been staying at our place because the hospital was next door, and he had been going over there for daily or every other day treatments.  During this time, he had come very close to some of our staff, because he was a super nice guy and had probably been at our hotel for a month or even more.

On this particular day, the housekeepers had gone in his room like normal to check some things and do their daily routine.  They had a routine with him, because he had been there for some time.  Anyway, he was “sleeping” in the recliner like normal, with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.  This was a normal occurence, because he didn’t like sleeping in the bed it was easier for him to sleep in the recliner.  When they were in there, they didn’t think anything of it, because he had been in this position before.  (more…)
