This hotel guest in Oklahoma was said to be angry about his bill

Incredible footage has emerged showing a man deliberately crashing his pickup truck into the lobby of a hotel, narrowly missing two employees at the reception desk.

The incident took place at the Alva Comfort Inn and Suites, 100 miles north-west of Oklahoma City.

The driver has been named as John Parsley who is believed to have rowed with hotel staff over a bill. The row turned to anger, leading to the 62-year-old to enter his car and drive it through the hotel's glass window entrance.

The footage shows the employees were only inches away from being hit by the vehicle.

One of the employees was Rupal Bhagat Christian who uploaded the footage on Facebook.

In the description, she writes: "His intention was to kill me thats what he had said and attempted twice but failed."

"I hope this evidence is enough to keep him out of the streets, he is a threat and danger to my life and for community because he is not afraid of going behind bars so if he is out he can attempt to kill/ murder me for the third time with any other weapon."

Mr Parsley, a Texas resident, has been arrested and is facing charges. According to a local paper he had been upset that his credit card had been declined twice, and was forced to pay in cash.
