GALLATIN, Tenn. (WKRN) — AK-47 rounds ripped through a Gallatin motel after police say a prostitution deal went bad.
It all went down around 6 p.m. January 19 in Gallatin. That’s when Gallatin Police tell News 2 that a contractor from Alabama staying at a local motel went on a website called MegaPersonals and ordered a call girl.
When that alleged call girl arrived at the motel, things ended up going sideways.
News 2 obtained bodycam of officers arriving. In one clip, you can hear an arriving officer telling other officers what one of the alleged victims says happened.
"Officer: She came over and came inside and he told her to get the hell out, and there was a silver car out here, and he shut the door, and shots rang out."
Gallatin Police say that Alabama Contractor is 57-year-old Robert Wallace Carroll. Police say while staying at the motel, Carroll went online and ordered a prostitute.
According to investigators, 27-year-old Gabriella Marie Wolcott arrived. According to detectives, her 30-minute rate is $200.
Police say after the transaction concluded, Carroll offered her $40. Police say it was for her gas money. That’s when police say Wolcott complained.
When she did, police say, Carroll pulled a pistol. That’s when Wolcott’s alleged pimp, Mareco Ross, who was waiting in the parking lot, pulled out an altered AK-47. Police say he opened fire, shooting at the motel room.
Police say bullets from the stolen rifle ripped through the door as well as multiple walls.
News 2 obtained video showing detectives in the bathroom of the motel room extracting a slug out of the shower wall.
Thankfully nobody was hurt.
“Of course, an AK-47 is very loud and it brought all the witnesses out into the parking lot,” said Lt. Lamar Ballard.
According to police, Carroll initially lied to investigators telling them that he was the victim of a robbery.
With the help of Metro Police, Gallatin officers found Wolcott who reportedly has a violation of probation warrant. When detectives interviewed the 27-year-old woman, she reportedly told them a different story.
“Of course, we charged him, Carroll, with patronizing prostitution and false report to us,” said Lt. Ballard.
Because the AK-47 was stolen and modified, the ATF is now involved.
Ballard said none of the suspects in the case are from Gallatin. They are all now charged and more charges are also possible.
Carroll was charged with solicitation of prostitution and Wolcott was charged with prostitution.
Police say the alleged pimp, Mareco Ross, was charged with a number of crimes including aggravated assault, possession of a stolen firearm, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Police say he has previous arrests for promoting prostitution.
The guy with "scarface" hoodie is the pimp...
I think this is what happened...After the session was over, the customer went outside his room with the lady...Then he only gave her $40...Not $200...She complained...He took out his pistol...
The pimp saw that and took out his AK-47...
I do not think that she is worth $200 for 30 minutes...I cannot tell if she has some plastic surgery done or not...
How do you make a hormone? Don’t pay her.
Wow! Who would’ve thunk? So, like, bad things can happen when you engage in bad behavior? Or are we supposed to celebrate sex/drug workers now as amazing!?
Geez louise. Gotta be careful out there. I don’t use such “services” however, be wary as her well armed pimp is out there, and isn’t shy about shooting if you make one wrong move.
A charming trio.
Never bring a pistol to a rifle fight. Dang straight AK’s are loud. I fired one in my back yard a few years back, sans earplugs. My ears rang the rest of the evening.
I thought the prostitution business model required that the prostitute always gets the money up front.
At least, that’s what I’ve read...
None look like $40.
The customer needs to find a girlfriend or keep his pants zipped.
The pimp needs to get a legit job.
The tramp needs to get some self respect.
Yes, I think some do celebrate “sex workers”. That’s part of the reason they say we should call them “sex workers”, instead of the less flattering descriptions we all know about. The reason for that is to say they are “workers”, it’s just another type of job, etc. And that there is nothing objectionable about a job. Etc.
The ho is rocking Polo gear.
I think if someone is wearing a “Scarface” hoodie, they should be arrested for something.
0 for 3...
I worked in a trucker motel for a summer. You don’t speak to the girls and you treat the pimp like he doesn’t exist. If the girls speak to you, you pretend not to hear them. I was a 19 year-old virgin and I managed to dodge a freebie on my birthday from one of the girls who worked the front desk by babbling about a girl I was dating at the time (Thank you Karen)
Just so you know, there is no such thing as a freebie. And a pimp is referred to as “my boyfriend” by the girls.
Most hookers on take cash apps.
Yup! Do they have their own union fist meme?
Crap! That comment won’t end well! 😆
Yeah, that’s gonna happen…
Apparently the pimp hasn’t heard that one.
If you need a weapon in a deal with a hooker, you are probably doing it wrong.
Apparently the pimp hasn’t heard that one.
No, the convicted felon with a stolen firearm and pimp needs to go to prison for approx. 20 years. He could then get a job whilst in there...
