Initial reports indicate he apparently was trying to get money. The friend telephoned police.
Police say the clerk apparently was beaten about the head with a blunt object.
Police obtained a search warrant for the hotel's maintenance worker's room and have taken him into custody. All rights reserved. By using this website, you accept the terms of our Visitor Agreement . Please read it.
