A user on TikTok claims to have caught a felony in action while staying at a Days Inn by Wyndham in Rapid City, South Dakota.
In a series of three videos, the user documents the full experience, which she says began when she heard an incident taking place outside of her room.
“She for sure just did a felony from destroying everything in the breakfast room,” says TikToker Lana (@lanaoriger). According to Lana, she overheard the destruction while showering. She also claims an employee confirmed to her that “the room they were in had major damage too.”

In the second part, Lana shows the aftermath of the incident. Multiple chairs and tables are overturned, and several items appear broken.
“I wanted to help the [guy] working but he had to wait for the police report to be finished and then two other workers showed up to help him,” Lana explained in the caption.

The offenders were eventually arrested, as Lana shares in a final part. The video shows a man and a woman being taken out of the hotel in handcuffs.
@lanaoriger #partthree had to put music over it as i was talking to my mom in the back how i thought i heard them say stop resisting and how the cuffs hurt her. #daysinnbywyndham #rapidcity #rapidcitysouthdakota #wow #cops #funny #fyp ♬ Bad Boys (Theme from Cops) – Inner Circle
In the comments of this third video, Lana lays out the whole story from her perspective. According to Lana, the damage was caused by “mainly the woman from my understanding.”
“I went to the lobby and heard screaming from a room down the hall,” she recalls. “Then I went back to my room to take a shower. Next thing I know my mom said someone’s destroying the breakfast room.”
“Later that night I went to talk to the front desk clerk as I’m one myself and he said he called the cops 45 minutes prior to them arriving,” she continues. “I called them as well when I heard her destroying everything and the lady with dispatch said ‘We’ve received multiple calls. Officers are on the way.’ After my phone call, it was still another 10-20 minutes till they got there.”
The Rapid City Police Department has not put out a statement regarding the incident. The Daily Dot reached out to them for comment via email.
Commenters were incensed by what they saw.
“Man this right here is why I dont like working in the hotel business,” a user said.
“If I ever see this in public, I will mace that person,” another added. “I can’t believe people feel they need to do this to others over something so petty.”
