A woman from Santa Ana is behind bars in San Luis Obispo County after police say they found drugs and stolen IDs in her hotel room.
According to the San Luis Obispo Police Department, officers were called to the Embassy Suites on October 21 for a report that suspicious items had been found in one of the rooms.
Police say they found a large quantity of methamphetamine, plus several checks, credit cards and identification cards believed to be stolen from multiple victims.
The suspect, identified as Jeamy Beatriz Melendez, 36, was taken into custody the next day in Arroyo Grande. Police say she gave officers false information about her identity and had a large amount of meth, PCP, cash, and ID cards that did not belong to her.
