Hostage for Pizza and Paris Hilton

A 61 year old man named Fredrick Denney locked himself up in Hampton Inn, Belmont North Carolina with a threat of shooting the police. His demands were simple – he wanted pizza and Paris Hilton!

This Saturday morning incident was stated as a disturbance with threats. Agencies were called off to arrange with Denney and even the Regional SWAT Team responded.

Negotiations took hours but Denney still did not cooperate so after a few hours, the police decided to jump in and take him down with pepper spray and handcuffs.

Several reports stated that Denney was taken to a mental hospital for evaluation. It was also revealed that this Oregon man already had similar incidents in other states, which also involved the SWAT Teams and had a $90,000 worth of bond.

Today, he is under custody with charges “intoxicated and disorderly.”
