Country Star's Hotel Room Wreckage Leads to Charges
22 Jun
Summary
- Singer charged with felony criminal damage and misdemeanor false services.
- Alleged hotel damages total $16,000, including electronics and furnishings.
- Zimmerman cancelled a May 27th show, citing illness.
Country singer Bailey Zimmerman is reportedly facing federal and criminal charges related to alleged destruction of property in a New Mexico hotel room. A court filing on June 18 detailed charges of felony criminal damage to property, exceeding $1,000, and a misdemeanor for falsely obtaining services.
These charges stem from an incident on May 27, the same day Zimmerman was scheduled to perform in Albuquerque. Reports suggest Zimmerman appeared intoxicated and hostile during soundcheck, later canceling his performance. He reportedly stayed at the Sandia Resort and Casino.
Following his departure, hotel staff discovered significant damage to his room, with estimates for repairs reaching $16,000. The damages included a television, phone, coffee table, chairs, walls, and carpet stains. Additionally, the singer allegedly incurred over $400 in alcohol charges to the room.
When the hotel could not settle the outstanding charges with Zimmerman or his staff, police were involved. Zimmerman was escorted off the property. An arrest warrant was subsequently issued for the singer.
Zimmerman's next scheduled concert is on June 25 at the Country Drive Music Festival in Ashland, Nebraska. His song "Chevy Silverado" is currently charting.
