No physical contact was made, but the employee told officers the man made gestures that he was going to jump over the counter. 

When police arrived, the customer denied making any gestures like that.

The victim said he did not want to pursue criminal charges, but did want the customer to leave and asked police to give him a trespassing warning.

An officer escorted the man out of the hotel and issued a trespass warning.
