Employees with the Crowne Plaza say the hotel’s View 162 restaurant, broken into on Thanksgiving Day, was left in a horrible condition that included alcohol that had been poured out and defecation that was found in the dining room.

Dayton police responded to the hotel, 33 E. Fifth St., at about 9 a.m. Thursday, according to a police incident report. Employees said the restaurant — on the hotel’s top floor — was secured at about 2 that morning. The break-in was discovered about four hours later.

The restaurant’s manager said someone had defecated on the floor, cables to one of the cash registers had been cut and the till drawer had been removed, and beer had been consumed and poured onto the host stand as well as on a phone in the kitchen area.

The police report also indicated that three fire extinguishers had been used in an attempt to bust into an unmarked storage room for liquor, a bent paper clip had been left in the lock of an office door, damage had been done to the manager’s office and about $25 cash had been stolen.

Makeup, some of which was used to write a derogatory term on a desk, was stolen as well, according to the report, and a pornographic website was left on the screen of a workplace computer.

The manager told police that two of three kitchen employees recently fired had made threats.

In their report, police also noted that several cars in the Transportation Center garage, at Jefferson Street across the street from the hotel, had been broken into and severely damaged during the same time period the restaurant was believed to have been broken into.

No one at the hotel was available Friday night to comment on the incident.
