I am told that they did some sort of go fund me and raised enough to convince him to go to a hotel. Haven't seen anything online about it yet, but that is the rumor. He's kinda a local legend.
This is the guy HBPW was telling me about. If what she read is true, he's claimed to be a destitute Vietnam vet (too young), and owns a house in Palm Beach. He lost his leg in some sort of incident at the age of 16 (not Vietnam).
