Motel guest refuses to check out, nabbed
A male motel guest was arrested for rowdy behavior and not checking out on time.
Police found suspected drugs and shabu paraphernalia in the room but are still confirming the identity of the man who checked into the Queensland motel in Cebu City on Friday dawn with a woman.
The man showed an identification card with the name Avelino Rosal III but his features don’t match the photo ID.
When a room boy went to the room after the 7-hour checkout time, the woman left.
However, the man insisted on staying behind.
He threw a thermos at a security guard who came over.
