Guest ran up hundreds of pounds in unpaid bills staying at Plymouth hotels
A WOMAN who ran up unpaid hotel bills of more than £800 at three guesthouses has been ordered to do unpaid work.
Maureen Obi, aged 48, came to Plymouth for a job but was left with nowhere to stay when she was dismissed after only three days, city magistrates heard.
-
Obi, of no fixed address, admitted three counts of fraud by false representation in January and February.
Eoin McCarthy, prosecuting, said she stayed at The Grovesnor for 12 nights, and left without paying her bill of £392 and also took the room key worth £20.

He added she also stayed at Firs Guest House and paid £50 for two nights initially, but then stayed for the rest of the week and failed to pay her bill of £175. She also took a key which cost £12 to replace.
Mr McCarthy said she also failed to pay Alma Lodge for a week-long stay worth £245.
Obi, representing herself, just said she was guilty.
The court was told at a previous hearing that she had moved from London for a job at Sunshine Care. But she had been dismissed after three days, leaving her with no money and nowhere to live.
Magistrates gave her a six-month community order under probation supervision with 60 hours unpaid work.
Obi was ordered to pay a total of £844 compensation owed to the three guesthouses and £40 costs.

“A very adept demonstration and highlight in fact by one in position witness of homelessness in plight. Are you deaf, dumb, blind, or just plain stupid my master in bond in bind oath Satan, Grand Master [Freemasonry]. Allegedly not! For the Judge in representation has awarded a fine that cannot be paid in order that a place and position be found; a home. For any that arrive, return, or otherwise appear at our gates, how do we treat them in manner God, Satan, Jesus Christ. Does Judas (the one who in guardian kept all Government account in balance) see that in this case whilst the balance is restored the cost is twice, thrice; how rains does my temple in grained tear, adieu.
Allegedly, in keep, by the line of ancient descent in your lines you claim to be in possession of rank of 'Prisoner Warden Consciousness' in reeled line in rhyme – in time; therefore in agreement at last by public and general consensus, it would seem you admit to the resignation of your position in lines. In lieu, since you honour not the breath of our Lady, your highest ranking honourary squire, British Prime Minister David Cameron, in radian, thirty three degrees, when called as two in witness the guilty one I shall raise in objection to your lines, "Freemasonry, it is you", for you have courted one who has followed the Government line, in respect, "On your bikes Sirs;".
"A bed for the (K)night, not too much to ask is it, Grand Master," said the Princess.
Arise? Descend, Grandmaster. Were the Lady in return, were she to be in burden(?) of the child Jesus Christ in arms or in Eden would your lines [Freemasonry] have had her turn to prostitution for a bed for the night or would you be in guilt of death Jesus Christ, twice.
"Grandmaster, we travelled to the Grail with you and on your wisdom."”

“Interesting how a tenant in a rented property can run up bills of thousands of pounds then often just walk away after wrecking the place!!!”
