A Missouri woman was arrested on Dec. 1 after allegedly pushing a hotel employee because breakfast was not ready in the morning.
Hays Police Lt. Brandon Wright said officers arrested 54-year-old Bridget Mahoney Farmer of Kansas City, Missouri, after she allegedly caused a disturbance at the Hilton Garden Inn, 221 W. 43rd St.
Wright said the disturbance happened between 4 and 5:30 a.m. and that Farmer was reported as allegedly intoxicated, yelling and cussing at staff.
Wright said after the employee was allegedly shoved, the hotel staff called the police, and Farmer returned to her hotel room. She then reportedly refused to open the door for about an hour despite officers' orders.
Wright said officers tried to use a tool to release the secondary latch on her hotel room door, but Farmer allegedly grabbed the tool and broke it. Officers then forced the door open as Farmer continued to refuse commands.
She was handcuffed and forcibly removed from the property, Wright said.
Farmer was charged with alleged simple battery, disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, criminal damage and interference with law enforcement. No injuries were reported.
