A self-proclaimed 'Airbnb Queen' who managed other people's properties is accused of stealing from homeowners then fleeing town
in February. William Widell's attorney, John Campbell, told Fox 23 that the protective order was filed only after Widell had"showed up at her former home with a gun, acting erratically."
Since then, seven of Widell's tenants told Fox 23 their water had been shut off and they risk losing electricity. "She was spending a huge amount of money marketing herself, so she just became the person everybody went to for any Airbnb advice," he told Insider."She was convincing a lot of people to transfer their long-term rentals to short-term rentals. She tried to sell me on it, and I walked away just being like, 'Something's up.'"
