据美国媒体11月6日报道,美国一位流浪汉日前偷偷溜进宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡一家豪华酒店的总统套房,并心安理得地睡了个好觉。可惜梦醒时分等待他的却是牢狱之灾。
现年48岁的杰弗里•伦农•沃森来自洛杉矶,他在返程中途经过匹兹堡并逗留了一个多月,5日晚间他在奥姆尼•威廉•佩恩酒店总统套房美美入睡时被保安逮住了。
当地时间5日晚7时30分左右,入住总统套房的客人在沙发上发现了沃森,随即通知了酒店工作人员。理查德说,酒店保安叫醒了沃森,并报了警。目前警方尚不清楚沃森在总统套房里待了多久,也不知道他是怎么进去的。
沃森所睡的接待区属于公用区域,该区域的门当天早些时候打开后就没有锁上。据该酒店官网介绍,该总统套房除了这1300平方英尺的接待区外,还有三间卧室、餐厅、厨房、酒吧和客厅。
目前沃森被关押在阿勒格尼县监狱,面临着非法侵入和偷窃服务的指控。
A homeless man has gone from the proverbial penthouse to the big house after he was found sleeping in the presidential suite at one of Pittsburgh's swankiest hotels. Jeffrey Lennon Watson, 48, told police he was from Los Angeles and was passing through the city to return to California when he was nabbed by security at the Omni William Penn Hotel on Tuesday night, police spokeswoman Diane Richard said Wednesday.
Hotel guests were checking into the suite about 7:30 pm when they saw Watson sleeping on a couch and notified hotel staff, police said. Hotel security officers woke him up, took him to their office and called police, Richard said.
Hotel general manager Eric DeStefano issued a short statement explaining what occurred.
The parlor area of the Presidential suite is "a general-use area for receptions and small events. The door had been programmed to remain unlocked for an event earlier that day. As soon as the occupant was discovered, he was escorted off the property," DeStefano said.
Watson told police "he has been in Pittsburgh for over a month and sleeps wherever he can locate somewhere comfortable to rest his head," Richard said.
There aren't too many places more comfortable than Watson's chosen location. The 16th-floor suite features a 1,300-square-foot parlor plus three bedrooms, and includes crystal chandeliers, a dining room, grand piano, a full kitchenette, wet bar and sitting room, according to the hotel's website. The site doesn't make clear how much the room costs.
Police took Watson to the Allegheny County Jail, where he remained Wednesday unable to post $15,000 bond. He faces a preliminary hearing Nov. 19 on charges of criminal trespass and theft of services, according to online court records, which didn't list an attorney for him.
Richard said police don't know how long Watson had been in the suite or how he got in.
