UPDATE: Pennsylvania man arrested for theft of services - More charges added

Barry Montag, white male, 45 years of age, of Pennsylvania was charged on December 29, 2011 with a third count of  Second Degree Theft of Services with bonds now totaling $7,500. 
 

On December 27, 2011 the Dothan Police Department released information on an arrest that was made after police responded to the Clarion Inn Motel, 2195 Ross Clark Circle, where employees had detained a guest for theft of services. Employees explained that Barry Montag had completed his stay at their motel during which time he made over five hundred dollars in charges that he refused to pay. Upon further investigation, police learned Barry had also made charges in excess of five hundred dollars at Courtyard, 3040 Ross Clark Circle, which he had failed to pay upon checkout. Montag was arrested for theft of services.

Following the release of this information, another local hotel contacted police having recognized the suspect as someone who had committed a similar theft against their business. Montag has now been charged with an additional count of theft of services following an incident on December 8, 2011. Investigators say Montag checked into the Hilton Garden Inn (171 Hospitality Lane) on December 8, 2011 and stayed until December 11, 2011 under the false pretense that he worked with a local airline. Montag had over one thousand dollars in charges when he left on the eleventh without paying.
