Peter Brennan from Texas stayed overnight at a hotel in Nashville, Tennessee on March 30 during a trip on a business trip.
At around 5 a.m., his sleep was interrupted by a stranger sneaking into the room. This person was identified as 52-year-old David Neal, a hotel employee.
According to Nashville Metropolitan Police, Neal allegedly used a spare key to enter the room. When Brennan woke up he discovered his toe was in Neal’s mouth.
“I immediately jumped up and yelled, ‘Who are you? Why are you in my room? What are you doing here?’. I saw he was wearing a uniform with a name tag on it. He answered but there was no clear answer,” Brennan said.
Neal explained It is believed that this person voluntarily entered Brennan’s room because he smelled smoke, but according to other guests and staff, this was not true.
Neal was arrested at his home near Lebanon, Tennessee, on charges of charges of theft and assault.
Brennan plans to sue Neal and the hotel after the incident.
The hotel’s management said they promote safety of guests and is actively cooperating with the police investigation but refuses to provide further information about the incident.
