Apparently the guest had registered on Sept. 5, and the cost of the services for the two days was $1,205.04\. As the officers knocked on the guest’s door, another guest outside contacted the hotel employee, saying a large bag had been thrown out the window and nearly hit him on the head. Officers entered the hotel room and arrested the suspect, recovering various drug paraphernalia used to smoke methamphetamine. Officers also obtained the bag and found papers inside containing credit card numbers, bank account numbers and social security numbers.

At 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10, officers were in the 5050 Beach Parking Lot when they ran the license plate on a vehicle that returned as being stolen.
