Police, Hotel Say Monica Conyers Part Of 'Disturbance'

POSTED: Wednesday, August 27, 2008
UPDATED: 7:26 pm EDT August 27, 2008

Police were called to quell a "disturbance" at a Denver hotel between Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers and staff, according to a hotel spokeswoman.

Dana Berry, spokeswoman for Magnolia Hotel, told the Detroit News an officer assigned to the hotel during the Democratic National Convention had to call for additional police assistance around 4 and 5 p.m. after a heated argument erupted between Conyers and staff about a hotel room.

Berry said Conyers complained that the original room she was given Monday night could not accommodate her family and she became upset when staff members tried to remove Conyers' belongings from the suite.

Denver police issued the following statement to Local 4: "A dispute took place and our officers responded to the hotel. We are told hotel guests became upset by the loud outbursts. No charges were filed, but additional officers were called to help control congressman Conyers wife, Monica."

Conyers denies the entire incident. She told Local 4 she has no idea where the hotel is getting this story from, " I am in the same room that I was in since the beginning," she said.

"None of that's true. If you want to print that, go right ahead because none of that's true," Conyers told Local 4.

Conyers said she was sleeping in her hotel room during the time of the alleged incident.

Councilwoman Pro-tem Monica Conyers is married to U.S. Congressman John Conyers Jr.
