Chief Darryl Albert told the city council on Wednesday that the large number of calls about that business was hard on police.
Albert said:
“It’s happening in those rooms. It’s not by a fence or four feet from the property line. It’s happening in those rooms and in those hallways at their property and I’ll tell you it’s requiring not one police officer response but multiple police officers’ responses, and it’s taking away from the city,”
It was a unanimous decision to revoke the Budgetel Inn’s license.
