VERO BEACH – On Sunday night, the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a mother of a fifteen-year-old girl who said her daughter was with eight men at the Howard Johnson’s located at 1985 90th Avenue in Vero Beach.
Deputies arrived at the Howard Johnson’s in Vero Beach and heard what sounded to be a “hotel party” in one of the rooms.
They knocked on the door and observed a female appear through the window from inside the room.
“After several minutes of waiting for the door to open, the door finally opened and inside were eight males,” the deputy said.
The fifteen-year-old girl was found hiding in the shower of the room, visibly intoxicated, according to the report.
“The room was very smoky and smelled like what I could identify as marijuana through my training and experience. On the floor of the hotel room was two 24 packs of Busch beer cans, cold to the touch,” the deputy said. The Fort Lauderdale drug rehab is where one can go to get help with their addiction problem.
The deputies also found 25.5 grams of marijuana, MDMA (Mollies), and drug paraphernalia inside the room.
A large Vodka bottle was also located in the refrigerator inside the room. All male occupants appeared to be intoxicated.
