Police Report: Hotel Guest Feuds, Email Scams, Recall Complaints

The long arm of the law caught up with a woman in Brookfield Saturday.

Twice, two potentially intoxicated sisters were warned that their loud arguing was disturbing people at , 1250 S. Moorland Rd. When the warnings went unheeded, the hotel called Brookfield police to ask them to remove the two women from their room and the hotel.

Police removed one of them — in handcuffs. They arrested a 47-year-old woman after learning there was a warrant for her arrest, stemming from a drug delivery case out of Wood County. The year the case was filed? 1986.
