Jermaine Massey's videos of the incident went viral. Massey was in Portland for a concert and was sitting in the hotel's lobby making a phone call when a security guard accused him of loitering.

Massey, who had booked a room at the hotel, was asked for his room number. He couldn't immediately remember it, but had his room key.
