Police were called to a hotel on Tiffany South in Ohio early Sunday morning in response to complaints of loud noise and teenagers running in the hallways.
Reports indicate that officers were called to the scene around 1 a.m. following complaints of disturbances from multiple hotel guests. The hotel manager alerted the authorities about the situation.
The manager had suspicions that a group of teenagers was occupying a room without an adult accompanying them. This raised concerns as the number of people in the room exceeded the limit of four occupants. As a result, the manager requested that the teenagers be removed from the room.
As the officers made their way towards the room, they came across several teenagers in the hallways.
Police eventually discovered that there were 15 teenagers, aged between 12 and 17, residing in the room, despite initial hesitation from those involved.
The officers conducted searches on all individuals who were out past curfew without guardians before allowing them to leave.
During the search, officers discovered a 14-year-old girl concealing a handgun in her waistband. As they moved to seize the weapon, she made an attempt to snatch it, as per reports.
The authorities apprehended her and accused her of concealing a weapon, impeding official duties, and resisting arrest.
According to reports, someone also threw another gun out of the hotel room window, along with an empty bottle of tequila. Additionally, a second empty tequila bottle was found in the bathroom.
Furthermore, law enforcement officials apprehended a 16-year-old female for impeding the progress of their official duties, as she reportedly provided misleading information to the officers regarding her attempts to contact her mother for transportation.
The authorities eventually released all of the teenagers into the care of an adult.
