Police are searching for a man deemed armed and dangerous after he fled a motel room with illegal drugs inside, resulting in the arrest of a Florida woman.
An officer with the Lake Wales Police Department noticed a vehicle parked in front of room number five at the Prince of Wales Motel that matches a vehicle usually driven by Carlos Williams, 24, who is wanted for multiple violent felonies.
Williams is wanted on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence charges.
Police spoke with the occupant of room number five, Shanell Mickel, 43, who informed the officer that Williams was not in the room at the time, but had been there before.
