The employee working the desk reported to responding officers that an intoxicated man had come in demanding his room be cleaned and asking for towels, pulling a gun and threatening to shoot.

He was subsequently arrested for public intoxication and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony. If convicted, Laurence could face two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
