A disturbance at a Monroe Township hotel Monday night led to the arrest of a man believed to be a drug dealer after cocaine and cash were found in his pockets.
Sheriff’s deputies responded to Econolodge, 6500 E. Dunbar Rd., on a report that several people were drunk and causing a disturbance in the lobby. An employee told deputies that the four were running around the lobby and causing problems.
One of the four was identified as a 36-year-old Monroe man wanted on warrants. During his arrest, deputies discovered almost 15 grams of cocaine and about $2,400 in cash in his pockets. The man was arrested and the money confiscated under drug forfeiture laws.
