A video arraignment is scheduled this morning for Christopher Pipkin, 38, of Cordova, who was arrested yesterday (10.10.19) morning at 9822 Huff N Puff Rd (Econo Lodge) for felony vandalism charges at the motel.
The Shelby County affidavit of complaint reports two Shelby County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a vandalism/felony at the motel at 7:55 a.m. yesterday. The suspect had thrown a chair through the front lobby window and shattered the window of room 213. The complaint says deputies found an expandable baton on the suspect.
A clerk at the motel, Megan Patel, said the suspect came to the lobby for continental breakfast and poured milk into the cereal dispenser provided to guests. When confronted by the clerk, the suspect threw Fruit Loops cereal to the floor and then returned to his room, breaking a window. About 15 minutes later, the suspect returned to the lobby, picked up a chair and threw it out a front window in the motel lobby.
Bond was set at $5,000.
