El Bronco owner says he was ‘sabotaged’ by person who made AHS complaint
The owner of the El Bronco Motel is speaking out against allegations that he shut off the heat there earlier this month during one of the coldest stretches in recent memory.
On December 7, the Red Cross had to provide housing for nine people of the motel because their rooms were too cold to live in. Now the owner says he has proof he was “sabotaged” by the resident who called in the complaint.
“They’re scamming me,” exclaimed Irvine Pidt Friday morning in his room at the El Bronco Motel. The owner of the motel says the accusation he shut off the heat in an effort to force some tenants out earlier this month is one-hundred per cent false.
“Why in the world would I ever shut the heat off to cost me thousands of dollars?” said Pidt. He says he paid a local plumbing company to fix the heat, and his friend Aaron Johannesson, who’s been helping him ever since the incident happened, says the invoice from the company shows who actually shut it off.
