MADISON, Wis. — A hotel clerk called police after an armed man, who was not a guest, tried to enter the locked building, according to a release from the Madison Police Department.
Officers were dispatched to the Hampton Inn on W. Johnson St. around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. The clerk said the man had a knife inside the vestibule.
