WAKEFIELD — Police went to the Four Points at Sheraton Wakefield hotel last night searching for a guest who reportedly threatened an employee with a firearm.

According to police, they went to the Audubon Road hotel around 9:40 p.m. after receiving a call from a hotel staff member. A guest on the second floor allegedly made threats against the caller’s colleague and they involved the “use of a firearm.”

The suspect was not in his room when police arrived. They checked the bar and were not able to find him.

Hotel personnel changed the lock to his room.

Eventually, the suspect was located and was escorted off the property, police said.

At 7:17 a.m. today, police were back at the Four Points at Sheraton because someone had fallen and was bleeding from the head. That person was taken by ambulance to the Melrose-Wakefield Hospital.
