DEDHAM - A Randolph man was arrested around 7 p.m. Monday at the Holiday Inn on Ariadne Road after he left a nearby hotel without paying his $2,000 bill, police said.
Cory Lee Kraatz, 32, of 30 Himoor Circle was charged with defrauding an innkeeper of over $100, and two counts of larceny over $250 after he left the Marriott Fairfield Inn on Elm Street where he had been staying since early June, police said.
