Defense Department detains hotel guest in training mix-up

BOSTON (AP) — The FBI said participants in a Department of Defense training exercise at a Boston hotel entered the wrong room Tuesday and mistakenly detained a hotel guest instead of the individual assigned the role of the person to be detained. The incident occurred about 10 p.m. with the Boston Division of the FBI assisting the U.S. Department of Defense in conducting the Defense Department exercise. The exercise was meant to simulate a situation that personnel might encounter during an actual incident. The FBI said participants were mistakenly sent to the wrong room and detained an individual who was not the intended role player.
