‘I don’t know how he got in my room, how he got my debit card. But he got like the best wines, the best restaurants, room service. He got clothes and the whole ball of wax,’ Barak told WFTV.
At the Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal, Price allegedly charged nearly ,000 on the credit card of Joseph Barak, who stayed at the hotel while visiting from Ohio.
On Friday night, Price was forced to trade a chic hotel room for a bare cell in the Orange County Jail.

David Price has been living on the streets of Orlando, Florida, for the past two years, but on some nights, he found himself sleeping not on a park bench or in an alley, but rather in some of Orange County’s most luxurious hotels.

According to police, Price used a simple yet ingenious strategy: he would pose as a hotel guest and go on wild spending sprees paid for by his unsuspecting victims.
Since June of 2010, police have received reports of Price re-checking into hotel rooms, the television station WFTV reported.
He would apparently watch a guest check out, and then go into the recently occupied room and pretend to be that person.
Once he had installed himself in the room, Price would call the front desk and ask to extend his stay, sometimes by as many as ten days.
According to law enforcement officials, Price had successfully pulled off his scheme at nearly half a dozen hotels, among them the Hard Rock hotel, the Ritz Carlton, The Peabody and even the Four Seasons in Miami.
At the Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal, Price allegedly charged nearly ,000 on the credit card of Joseph Barak, who stayed at the hotel while visiting from Ohio.

In the end, Barak’s credit card company reimbursed him for Price’s fraudulent spending spree.
Price’s luck ran out earlier this week after he talked his way into a room at the Hard Rock hotel that - unbeknownst to him - was previously occupied by a hotel employee.

Security officers knew the guest had already left, so when Price attempted to pose as that person, they called police.
Officers who arrived on the scene apparently found items from other hotels in the room that Price had tried to commandeer.
