Dumb Criminals: Two Drunk Guys Thrown Out Of Chicago's Trump Hotel Bar Cause $700K In Damages

COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — Two men who were refused service at Trump Tower's fancy 16th-floor bar Saturday are accused of turning on a water valve in the high-rise's stairwell, flooding two elevator shafts and causing more than $700,000 in damage, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors alleged in court Tuesday that the men already had been drinking before they showed up at Trump's bar around 6 p.m. Saturday. After being served one round, the men were turned away because they seemed to be intoxicated, prosecutors said.

The two — Carl Koenemann and Benjamin Nitch, both 25, — are accused of then going into a Trump stairwell and opening up a water valve meant for fire protection. The water gushed out at 250 gallons a minute and flooded two elevator shafts, prosecutors said.
