An Iowa City man was arrested on a warrant from earlier in the month when he’s accused of trashing a Coralville hotel room.
According to the complaint, 25-year-old Ryan Mellor of Gilbert Court was removed from the Quality Inn on West 9th Street on the morning of August 13th after staying in the room since July 23rd. Hotel staff reported disruptive behavior, causing his removal.
When staff entered the room, they found extensive damage. All the furniture and appliances were allegedly destroyed, and large sections of drywall were removed. Estimated cost to repair the damage was $5425.
A warrant was requested, and he was arrested early Friday morning. Mellor has been charged with 2bd degree Criminal Mischief, a Class D Felony punishable by a prison term of up to five years if convicted.
