A man at the DoubleTree Hotel at 407 Chestnut St. called police and said a man was possibly stalking him and sitting in a truck across the road from his hotel, but then said he heard a buzz saw above him, while he was on the phone with dispatch. The man said this would be the same male from another call. Once on scene the officer spoke with the man who said he was at a hotel earlier when this man was trying to break into that room, and said the man’s name, however in the earlier report he said the man's name was another name. While on scene he said the man’s truck was across the street, saying it was a grey truck but when showing the officer, the truck he was referring to was a black truck. The man said the truck should have a Georgia tag as he knew the man to live in Canton, Ga. The officer left, saying he would check with the front desk to ensure a man under the name given was not staying in the hotel, and there was not. The officer then checked the truck the man claimed to be the man’s, however it had an Ohio tag, not Georgia. The officer then left the area. The man called 911 three more times on this date saying other people were beating on the door to his room and warping the mirror on the wall because "they were trying to come through the wall." The mirror is designed to have a warp in it and the only noise the officer heard on the floor each time he was present was an air conditioning unit or the man moving in his room. The officer warned the man of Tennessee's misuse of 911 law, then left the area.
