Pimp Overstays His Welcome at Local Hotel

The manager of a Tucker hotel was attacked by a man who refused to pay for a room he had been using for prostitution, according to DeKalb Police.

Marlowe Scott Ross, who is employed at the Stone Mountain Inn, told officers that an unidentified tenant grabbed him by the throat, pushed him down and threatened him with a knife after Ross told him "his stay at the business had expired," the report said. The assault was corroborated by a witness.

"Ross stated that the tenant said he needs to use the room so his girl can make some money, and he would pay them after," police reported. When Ross insisted on payment, he was attacked, and the couple fled the scene.

The incident occurred at around 1 p.m. on March 31. The tenant is described as a bald black male, approximately 5'11 and 230 to 275 lbs., and with a brown complexion. "Suspect usually wears a blue hoody or brown and blue dickies top and bottom." He travels with a white female, whose description was not given.

Both are being sought by police.
