TATTLE TALE TENANT

600 block of 67th Street Circle East, Bradenton

Information only: A deputy was dispatched to a hotel where an employee stated two tenants were arguing over their dogs and the hotel wanted them to leave. One of the two, a woman, had been hostile toward the employee and would not leave. Two deputies on the scene went to talk to the woman and told her she needed to leave the premises or she would be trespassed. The woman again became hostile. The deputies continued to give the woman warnings and she continued with a stream of verbal abuse. The woman took an extended amount of time to pack her bags and the deputies helped her bring her belongings to a car with a moving cart. The woman got into her car and drove to the front desk, parking in a handicapped spot without proper documentation. The woman went into the office and caused a further disturbance with the employee. Deputies asked her to sign a statement saying she would get her money back and then asked her to leave. The woman then started making racial statements toward the deputies. She again was told to leave. The woman continued to yell at deputies as she left, saying "I am going to tell on you," as she left the area.
