Black Man Kicked Out Of A Portland Hilton Double Tree Sues For $20 Million

Jermaine Massey who was kicked out of the Hilton DoubleTree in Portland last year while making a call on his cellphone is suing the hotel for $10 million.

Massey was on the phone with his mother when hotel security interrupted him, demanding to know if he was a guest. He said he was, but the security guard continued to demand proof, including asking to see his room key.

According to the lawsuit, the security guard told Massey he was loitering and that he was a risk to the safety and security of hotel guests. Eventually the hotel manager called Portland Police who then escorted Massey out of the hotel. Massey was not arrested and the police officer who responded to the incident offered to drive him to another hotel. We'll update you on the outcome of this suit.
