Chattanooga police have arrested two people in connection with the early morning robberies of three local hotels.
Gaylon Williams, 25, and Jasmine Davis, 21, were arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated robbery and criminal conspiracy to commit armed robbery, Chattanooga Police Department spokeswoman Officer Rebecca Royval said.
They are suspects in connection with the robberies of the Country Inn on Hamill Road, Hampton Inn on Weir Way and Inn Suites on McCutcheon Road, she said.
Police responded just after midnight to three separate calls of two black male suspects who entered the hotels at gunpoint and threatened the clerks, demanding money, Officer Royval said.
Police were given the description of a small white vehicle as the suspect vehicle, which was traced to Ms. Davis, Officer Royval said.
Ms. Davis was found in the vehicle on Shallowford Road, and a tip led police to Mr. Williams at a residence on Hoyt Street, where he was seen standing at the window with a handgun, Officer Royval said.
Mr. Williams was on bond from a previous charge of armed robbery and Ms. Davis was wanted on six outstanding probation violation warrants, Officer Royval said.
Police also are looking for a third suspect, described as a 6-foot, 220-pound black male who goes by the name “Skeeter.” He has a mustache, slight beard and was seen wearing a black long-sleeved T-shirt, blue jeans and is armed with a silver and black pistol, Officer Royval said.
