Departures of note

Richard McCaslin set a fire in an empty banquet hall, triggering an alarm, and later pointed his MK-1 rifle at caretaker Fred Yeager, believing Yeager's phone to be a gun. He encountered caretaker Fred Yeager and maintenance worker Bob Hipkiss, with no guests present, and later faced law‑enforcement officers surrounding his truck, leading to an armed standoff and his removal.

McCaslin claimed in correspondence with author Tea Krulos that the possibility of seeing Chely Wright prevented him from becoming violent, and he was briefly held at the mental health ward of the Sonoma County Jail.
