SALINE COUNTY —A construction worker from Manhattan who was in Salina for a job is out approximately $1,000 after cash, jewelry, and clothing were taken from his motel room in north Salina.

Domonic Oden, 27, of Manhattan, was renting a room at Motel 6, 635 West Diamond Drive. When Oden returned to his room at approximately 8 a.m. on Friday, he discovered the door open and most of his belongings gone, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.

The motel had accidentally double-booked the room and given a key to the room to another customer.  It is believed that the other customer, who may be from Colorado, took the items and then left without actually staying at the motel, according to Forrester.

Missing items include clothing, a Star of David necklace, a Jesus Christ necklace, and $250 in cash.
