DISGUSTING: White Hotel Clerk Tried To Have Black Family ARRESTED For Hotel's Own Billing Mistake, Police HARASS Innocent Black Family After Incident

By John Paluska, Founder of The Daily Fodder

A black family that stayed at a Hilton hotel in North Carolina alleges in a new lawsuit that they were reported to the police over a hotel billing mistake. The family reportedly was treated demeaningly by the female hotel staff member and then the police were called.

The lawsuit, which is available publicly here, states:

12. Mrs. Corbett sought clarification from the employee explaining that the room was prepaid with credit card points and that the prepaid status was verified when the Corbett family checked into the Hotel. The employee then loudly repeated “Your credit card was declined!” Mrs. Corbett asked the employee to stop making the comment to which the employee continued to loudly repeat “Your credit card was declined!”

13. Mrs. Corbett then retrieved information to confirm that her reservation had been prepaid with reward points; however, the employee refused to look at the information so Mrs. Corbett asked to speak to a supervisor. The employee then shouted “Get off my property” and proceeded to call the police.

...

15. When the police arrived, Mrs. Corbett explained that her family had done nothing wrong and that they were scheduled to check out of the hotel that same morning.

16. The police officers asked if the Corbetts had paid for their rooms and the employee acknowledged that the rooms were paid.

17. The police then escorted Plaintiffs from the Hotel and advised them to call the Hotel’s corporate office.

18. As Plaintiffs drove away from the Hotel, the police followed closely behind until they arrived at a restaurant parking lot to wait for other family who were still at the Hotel. While waiting, the police circled the Corbetts’ vehicle several times, which further elevated the family’s fear and anxiety.

Not only was the family subjected to outright racism by the hotel, but then the police allegedly proceeded to follow the family and drive around their vehicle multiple times, despite the fact that they did absolutely nothing wrong. 

If true, this is a truly disgusting and alarming state of affairs. The ironic part is the family was staying the night at Hilton because Nrs. Corbett's mother was being indicted into the Oliver Nestus Freeman Round House and African-American Museum for her work as a community organizer.

Wow. What a thanks to get.
