"They said, 'police, open the door. Step out of the vehicle.' He wouldn't do it. They started to threaten to shoot out the window," a motel guest said.

"They're screaming 'open the door. Open the window.' And they used the baton. They started breaking the side window but they couldn't," the motel guest said.
