Hotel management says two checks totaling $3,596 were fakes and now the police are involved for what’s being called passing bad checks or forgery.
As we reported Monday night, Johnson is wanted on an active warrant out of Delaware County, Ohio, and is named in multiple civil lawsuits from businesses seeking payment. The major civil lawsuit facing Johnson is from a Baymont Hotel that is seeking $110,000 in hotel fees that were never paid.
