RCMP say he refused to pay for a hotel stay

A Cole Harbour man is facing charges after RCMP say he refused to pay for a hotel stay.

Mounties were called to the hotel near Halifax Stanfield International Airport just after 2 p.m. Wednesday, but say the man was gone by the time officers arrived.

They soon discovered the suspect had outstanding warrants from Antigonish County and say he was driving a rental car that had been reported stolen.

They tracked down the vehicle on Commodore Drive and arrested the suspect without incident.

Nadav Joseph Even-Har, 40, has been charged with fraud and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

He also faces three charges of theft under $5,000 related to the outstanding warrants in Antigonish County.
