Dispute over waffle maker gets guests booted from hotel

PERE MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Authorities say a dispute between two women over a waffle maker led to 30 people being booted from a western Michigan hotel.

The Muskegon Chronicle reports a Mason County sheriff's deputy stood by Sunday morning as guests were ordered to pack their bags at the America's Best Value Inn in Pere Marquette Township.

Sheriff Kim Cole says one woman asked another if she was in line for the waffle maker, but didn't get an answer. Cole says the woman started to make a waffle, but the other confronted her. Cole says "it went downhill from there" and there was "a lot of yelling and screaming."

The department responded and Cole says the property manager asked that everyone be kicked out. No one was injured and there were no arrests.
