Shots fired at Gallatin motel during prostitution deal gone bad

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.

He and she pulled his gun, then he pulled his piece and then the pimp pulled his piece and went full-auto. “This is my piece, this is my gun. This is for shooting, this is for fun!”

This military workout song works great, when you are in basic training during the war we didn’t fight in Nam. You display your piece and held your junk with your other hand, singing your little chant. Great exercise for young teenage boys headed to their senior trip. WTF

Should have ordered a pizza. There is usually less gunplay involved with pizza.

Seriously, if I am in a hotel and hear AK fire in the parking lot, I am NOT going outside into the parking lot!

What made him think he could get away with only paying $40. of a $200. bill? I doubt if there was any clause saying
“Satisfaction Guaranteed, or your money back!”

The Mug Shots look like Central Casting.
Actor Michael Gross (Family Ties) plays The Customer.
Actor Jaime Fox (Django Unchained) plays The Pimp.
Actress Eva Mendes (Hitch -Will Smith movie) is The Escort.
**New York Congresswoman AOC is standing by as an available understudy.

***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...***

So you CAN make a hormone after all! Benny Hill has been proven right!

It sounds like the “interesting” part of the transaction was concluded prior to any money changing hands. I was somehow under the impression that the money was usually handled upfront. For this very reason.

Hey! The cops will get to the bottom of it. Even it takes hours of interviewing the aggrieved lady. :)

I will studiously avoid any ribald comments about possible toppings or the thickness of the crust.

Of the three perps, she will receive the least punishment. In fact, since her ‘pimp oppressor will be sent away for20 she is actually getting a chance to get the heck out of that demonic business!!

In 1975, I had a short assignment at a molybdenum mine 90 miles west of Las Vegas. Vegas was the only place to get a motel room. It was my first time there and I was really put off by the place. I was a real we-behind-the-ears kid, 24 at the time.

I was out for a walk taking in all the neon lights (remember, this was ‘75) and a mediocre looking black woman passed me on the sidewalk going the other way. She asked “Hey, would you like a date?” I thought to myself “this is sure a friendly town” so I replied “Yeah.” It only took me a minute to figure out what “date” meant and it wasn’t like those I had in high school or college. I said “No thanks” and walked on.
