‘Bromson was asked to leave the hotel by management and officers assisted Bromson to another local hotel in close proximity to the location of the incident, ‘ police said in a statement. On New Year’s Eve, Bromson was allegedly thrown out of a nearby hotel and police were called to help settle him somewhere else.
