The Best Western Hotel was not involved in the arrest. The management of The Best Western Hotel became a partner with law enforcement officers in the proactive investigation which targeted individuals who placed on-line ads and were not customers of the hotel, where the investigation concluded with the arrest.
The investigating agencies express their greatest appreciation to The Best Western staff and management who partnered with law enforcement officers and allowed their facilities to be used in an effort to keep the community safe.
