The Bath Police Department got a call on Oct. 16 about a "suspicious man" hiding in the bushes of the Courtyard Marriott on Springside Drive, said Chief Michael McNeely. When police drove to the area, they saw 35-year-old Richard Howiler, of Akron, run from the bushes. He was carrying a black duffel bag, McNeely said. Police chased Howiler down and found he had three fake IDs and a data skimmer in his bag, McNeely said.
