BEDFORD – A Bedford man was arrested Wednesday when Bedford Police officers were requested to Super 8 Motel after a report of a male and female were requested to be escorted off the property.
A staff member reported the woman was throwing items out of her room window.
When police arrived they found 48-year-old Travis Spreen sitting in a dark green Pontiac Grand Prix in the parking lot.
While approaching the vehicle, Spreen exited from the driver seat. Police learned Spreen was wanted on a warrant in Louisville, Kentucky and he was detained.
