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.
