A Pennsylvania man was arrested Friday in Warrenton following a report that a stolen credit card was used at the town’s Baymont Inn and Suites, according to a news release from the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.
A Fauquier deputy was dispatched to the Baymont Inn and Suites in Warrenton at approximately 4:30 p.m. Friday. There, he met a citizen who said he had accidentally left a credit card at a local restaurant on July 7, and that it had since been charged at the inn.
The deputy approached the hotel clerk, who confirmed the credit card charges. After the man who had used the card could not be located in his room, the deputy canvassed the area and found a man matching the description in the front desk video recordings.
The suspect, 29-year-old Noe Adolfo Salinas, was uncooperative when approached and questioned. When the deputy confronted him with the information he had gathered, Salinas pushed the deputy and attempted to flee toward a wooded area.
The officer gave chase and deployed his taser to stop Salinas from fleeing.
Additional deputies and EMS then arrived to provide support, and Salinas was transported to Fauquier Health, per sheriff’s office policy. Meanwhile, officers obtained search warrants for his hotel room.
Salinas was arrested and charged with assault on law enforcement, credit card theft, credit card forgery, possession of controlled substances and fleeing law enforcement. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 26, according to state court documents.
