Police arrived and found the suspect, a 48-year-old man, in a hallway on the second floor.
“As officers attempted to arrest and place him into handcuffs, he became assaultive and struck several officers,” the report says. “[the suspect] was aggressive and belligerent, and his words were completely incoherent.”
Police eventually handcuffed the man and brought him to a patrol car. On the way, the report says the man continued to struggle and tried to spit on several officers. As medics were treating the man, police say he showed signs of a drug overdose.
Police interviewed the 30-year-old victim, who told officers she had checked in to a room at the motel with the man earlier in the evning, but that she tried to leave after he “became aggressive.”
When the woman walked out into the hallway outside of their room, the report says the man forced her to the ground, pulled her pants down, forced his hand between her legs, and punched her several times.
The motel manager heard the commotion on the second floor, ran upstairs, and pepper sprayed the man. Police arrived moments later.
After interviewing the victim, police gave her a ride home.
One thing not included in the report: any explanation or hint as to why police guild representatives were called out to the scene.
