$340 in cash to meet an “acquaintance” in a hotel?
Sounds like that is a “No Tell Motel” and PD should look into it.
An “Acquaintance”? Seems this individual was expecting a different physical encounter than what occurred.
LOL. And don’t forget he had $340 in cash with him. That’s a hug sum of cash to carry now.
That’s some acquaintance!!
