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.

Always pay your hooker.

Pimps with AK’s agree. It’s the right thing to do.

I do not think that she is worth $200 for 30 minutes...

Doesn't matter. He agreed to it. If she provided the "service" then he should hold up his end of the deal.

For a few years I rented a parking space in a hotel garage across the street from my office. It was a high rise hotel catering mostly to the convention trade. The garage elevator went to a small lobby with doors to the sidewalk and also inside to the big lobby. One night I got out late, around 7 or 8, and waiting on the elevator were two girls and a guy. The girls were very young and dressed like total tarts, not exactly the hotel’s clientele. The guy was dressed like a real slimeball. I didn’t say a word. When we got out on the same garage level about 10 feet from the elevator the three broke out in crazy laughter. I’m sure they thought that straight guy on the elevator had no idea who they really were . . .

Seriously though for just a second. Who picked up the AK 47 brass? All that stuff is expensive and hard to find. The pimps brass catcher was in negotiations.

All this because that moron wanted to save himself $160 bucks? He’s gonna be out a helluva lot more than that now . . .

And the pimp, outside of the prison time, legal costs, surrendering the firearm, fines, losing his ho to the competition while he's incarcerated, likely shot close to $160 worth of ammo at the Democrat-riot and post-fraudulent-election prices these days just to recoup $160.

her 30-minute rate is $200.

Hell, you can hire Rockford for a whole day for that amount (plus expenses).

Is this a case of premature shooting?

More drugs and prostitution. It’s noticeable, that they’re not doing anything about the drugs. Prostitution and drug abuse must be prosecuted to keep slavery and other organized crime from spreading more throughout each community.
