Wanted Felons Flood Hotel Room While Springs Police Wait for Warrant

Saturday morning two wanted felons barricaded themselves inside their hotel room at MCM Elegante Suites Hotel.

When police tried to get them to open their door the pair turned on the fire sprinkler, flooding the room.

Colorado Springs police were waiting on a warrant to force their way inside the room when this all happened - But the flooding caused safety concerns, so springs police forced their way into the room.

26-year-old Alexis Celona and 24-year-old Michael Muehlbauer had warrants out for them on drug charges.

Now in addition to their original warrants, they'll also be charged with criminal mischief.

The flooding was so bad, the fire department had to remove the toilet in that room and try to force some of the water into its drain to alleviate the flooding.

Colorado Springs Fire Department estimates the couple caused more than $100,000 in damages to the hotel.
