An employee at a Scottsdale hotel was arrested this week for allegedly stealing money from the business and trying to cover up his actions with fake a bomb threat.
Scottsdale Police responded to the Holiday Inn Express at 7350 E. Gold Dust Tuesday night after the desk clerk, 25-year-old Wade Radzinski, called to say there had been a bomb threat. When officers arrived, Radzinski claimed that someone had told him to leave a bag of cash outside the building or a bomb would be detonated. Radzinski told police that the suspect had taken the bag of money before they arrived on scene.
While police were investigating the incident, Radzinski gave officers permission to search his vehicle. Police subsequently found the exact same amount of money that was missing from the hotel inside Radzinski’s car.
Police said Radzinski eventually made statements incriminating himself, and admitted that the bomb threat was a hoax. Radzinski was booked into jail on charges of theft and false reporting.
