He will probably meet a few Marines in prison.

Motels have very few staff, especially cheap ones like this appears to be. But you would think someone would have spotted something much sooner, I agree. But anymore, I think too many people just turn away because they do not want to get involved.

Unless being a veteran was secondary and he had some other reason to be holding him.

You may have a point. I recently stayed at a Motel 6, and near as I could determine it had exactly two employees.

He shouldn’t have gotten any bail.

If the motel/hotel is renting extended stay you can well assume it’s pretty run down and not asking question is part of the unspoken contract.

Yeah, that would have been the correct thing to do.

I think some active/reserve Marines should pay Perry Coniglio a visit and ‘express their displeasure’. Passing this on to several Marines that I know. It's a small community and word gets around fast.

One time when my wife and I were returning to Virginia from Texas, visiting my dad, and then where we now live visiting her dad. We went east so we could go to Charlotte North Carolina and visit my old neighbors in Virginia. When we left there I drove east to get over to interstate 95.

I imagine it was around Greensboro when my wife decided she wanted to get a room for the night, since we had driven from Louisiana. So we stopped at the first hotel we came upon. I'm almost positive that it was a motel 6. When I walked into the room, I think it was the dresser drawers were damaged, however, when I turned down the bedspread the sheets were filthy. I told my wife I am not staying in this place. Went to front desk, got a refund, and ended up finding a Holiday Inn Express not to many more miles up the road.

Point of my story, after that experience I would never even pull into a motel 6 anymore. I'm sure there may be some good ones, and I am not really a snob, but after that experience, no way. Funny thing about it was that the Holiday Inn Express did not cost anymore.

It’s probably $150,000. You pay 10%
