A group of men who gather on the chat site pranknet.org are wreaking havoc across the country, but the prank they pulled on a hotel clerk in Lexington may be the most disturbing yet.
It happened July 20, 2009 at the Homewood Suites in Lexington.
According to the staff at the website the Smoking Gun, the prankster, identified as 19-year-old Tyler Markle of Texas, called the hotel and got through to room 206. He told a man inside that room there was a hepatitis scare at the hotel and he should submit a urine sample to the front desk.
At the same time, the prankster told the front desk clerk he was with an apple cider company and in a minute, one of their reps would be down to deliver a cider sample for her to taste.
The prankster allowed the woman to sample the liquid, before informing her it was urine.
Homewood Suites has not commented about the incident and Lexington Police would only say they're looking into it.
The group of pranksters has successfully talked victims into destroying hotel rooms, setting off sprinkler alarms and damaging assorted fast food restaurants.
