"SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. -- A motel guest in Spartanburg told sheriff's deputies that someone called his room and told him to smash the things inside in order to free a small person trapped next door. Spartanburg County sheriff's deputies said they were called to the Motel 6 at 105 Jones Road on Sunday night after a guest nearly punched through to the next room with a wrench. A motel worker called deputies after she discovered the man had damaged the television, mirrors, and the wall between rooms, according to a police report. When deputies arrived, Joseph Jones told them someone called his room about 11 p.m. and said he was a manager at the motel. Jones said the male caller told him the previous guest had installed highly sophisticated camera in his room. The caller told Jones not to bother looking for them, instead, the caller would instruct him on how to get rid of the cameras. Jones said the caller asked him if the TV was on, and if it was to turn it off and unplug it. Jone said he did as he was told. [This is the room deputies said was trashed by a guest during a bogus phone call.] This is the room deputies said was trashed by a guest during a bogus phone call. Next, he was told to remove the back toilet cover and to smash the TV with it. He did and the cover shattered without breaking the TV screen, so he was instructed to throw the TV outside. Jones did as he was instructed. At some point, according to the report, Jones gave the caller his cell number so he did not have to keep running back to the room phone. The instructions continued, Jones told deputies. The male caller told him cameras were also behind the mirrors in the room, and that he needed to smash the mirrors. Jones grabbed a wrench that he found in the room and smashed the mirrors, the report said. Jones said the caller then said that a "midget" who was 4 feet 3 inches tall was barricaded in the room next to him and that he needed to help police get to him. With that, the report said, Jones he took his wrench and began to break away the sheet rock behind the room door. He broke through to the next room, but then stopped due to complaints from other guests about the loud noises. While Jones was telling deputies his story, he got another call on his cell phone from the male suspect. The report said Jones gave the phone to a deputy who took the call. Deputies did not immediately release information on that exchange. Deputies explained to the motel worker what happened, and she said she had recently received information from corporate about similar situations at other hotels. No charges were filed, but the manager did ask Jones to leave, according to the report."
