After the clerk at Fairfield Inn and Suites in Avon, Ohio told Ahmed al-Menhali that there were no rooms available, she texted her sister that Menhali had pledged to ISIS.
Menhali, a UAE citizen staying in the US for some medical procedures, was talking on the phone outside the hotel when 5 policemen put him on the ground, demanding his ID cards and cellphone.
It soon became clear that Menhali was no ISIS member. However, he collapsed from the stress, and had to be rushed to the hospital.
