The lawsuit filed Monday against Auberge Resorts LLC in the San Francisco suburb of Mill Valley is the most detailed narrative of what happened to Darienite Scott Hapgood and his family since Hapgood’s fight with a hotel employee at a Caribbean resort last April. The narrative account, submitted to advance Hapgood’s claims against the resort company for damages, and isn’t expected to be an unbiased account of what happened, but a truthful one. Additional truths and conclusions from the company being defended would be considered in court, later. The lawsuit alleges that the resort company was negligent in employing Kenny Mitchel, already accused of a violent crime, to work in the hotel where Hapgood’s family was staying, and that employees who came to the hotel room acted poorly in not getting police to the scene. Mitchel died after the struggle and Hapgood was charged with manslaughter.
