Shameful behavior. Caller may be charged.
'Brutal': Hotel Calls 911 Over Arabic-Speaking Visitor
An Ohio mayor apologized Sunday after a visitor from the Middle East was accused of being a terrorist and handcuffed by police at gunpoint.
In the wake of Wednesday's incident, the United Arab Emirates urged its citizens abroad to avoid wearing the country's traditional white robes and headscarf.
The UAE also summoned a senior U.S. diplomat to express its "dismay at the brutal way" police treated one of its citizens.
Officers were dispatched to a hotel in Avon, less than 20 miles west of Cleveland, after staff called 911 to allege a Muslim guest named Ahmed Al Menhali was "in full headdress with multiple disposable phones, pledging his allegiance to ISIS," according to NBC station WKYC.
