Hotels Have A lot of Ammenities - But You Can't Take Them With You!

4/27/07 -- Enid, OK - C'mon, we've all done it. You know, stayed the night in a hotel and you just couldn't resist taking those cute little shampoo bottles, individually wrapped soaps or heck, even a towel or two.

Seems an Enid man was thinking bigger than toiletries.

Meet Michael Scott Gehring, 28, a former guest of the Southgate Motel in Enid.

According to court records, Gehring decided to checkout February 13th with a few more items than he checked-in with.

Reportedly, Gehring was seen loading the hotel's bedding, towels, 24" color TV, microwave, refrigerator and space heaters into his Lincoln (man, my dad was right, they really do have alot of trunk space).

In addition to the 'freebies' Gehring made off with, he reportedly did $300 in damage to his room.

Last week Gehring was charged in Garfield County with felony grand larceny and maliciousness.

Gehring's bond has been set at $10,000.
