According to the manager at the Ramada Inn, the hotel where London climbed a tree, a security tape recorded the 37-year-old entering the hotel around 2 am on June 11.

On the tape, London was seen speaking with the desk clerk and checking into a room.

"I remember thinking, 'I hope the cameras catch him, because he was acting so out of it,’” said one hotel worker.

Later, London called police and told them he'd been taken hostage at gunpoint by three men, robbed and forced to smoke drugs.

According to London’s version of events, he managed to escape unharmed, but was left shaken.
