Hotel Maid's Fight Over Toilet Paper With Mop & Toilet Plunger

CHARLESTON, S.C. --An argument over toilet paper overflowed into a fight, sending one motel maid to the hospital and another to jail.

The maids at the Siesta Motor Lodge in North Charleston armed themselves with a plunger and mop after accusing each other of taking toilet paper from each other's cleaning carts, North Charleston police said.

Deloris Smith, 47, is charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. A magistrate set her bail Friday at $5,000.

The argument began about 9:40 a.m. Thursday in the motel's laundry room. The 52-year-old maid wounded in the scuffle said Smith grabbed a mop and hit her on the arms. She was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, police said.

Smith said she was defending herself from her co-worker's plunger.

11. You have no idea just how funny this really is.

The Siesta is one of our 'rent by the hour' motels used by the working girls hereabouts. I'm surprised to find out that even HAVE toilet paper...not to mention 'maids'.
