He took the glass pipe to the motel manager and asked for a refund for the motel room. ?
The manager said it was against motel policy to return any unused portion of the weekly rental fee, except the deposit. ?

The 25-year-old called police and reported the incident. An officer called the motel manager. The manager told police that he had made an internal report about the incident, and he had already sent the alleged drug paraphernalia to the motel’s corporate office.
