Cops: Missing FL GOP Leader Drunkenly Trashed Hotel

The Tampa Bay Times reports:

While family and friends distributed posters of a missing Republican Party of Florida executive director last week, he was holed up in a Hampton Inn, where authorities say he trashed his room. George Riley Jr., who was reunited with his family this weekend, was kicked out of a room at the Hampton Inn in Kissimmee on Wednesday after a desk clerk observed him “under the influence,” according to an Osceola County Sheriff’s Office report obtained Tuesday by the Tampa Bay Times.
