• Two drunk senior citizens “smashed glass doors and threatened to shoot [hotel] staff then drove off in their BMW.

  Mr Fergus was brandishing a pair of scissors as he screamed abuse in the hotel lobby and his wife shouted at one female member of staff, ‘I’m going to get a gun and shoot you’.

  He then told another staff member: ‘I’m going to slit you and kill you’ and also picked up a sign which he used to smash glass-panelled doors.

  As terrified staff fled the hotel, the couple returned to their rooms to pack before driving off towards Perth.
