DA files complaints against 3 Macon hotels due to high crime volume

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — Macon-Bibb District Attorney David Cooke is filing complaints against three motels. He claims that these Macon motels attract crime.

Complaints are filed for:

• America’s Best Inn and Suites on Harrison Road
• America’s Best Value Inn and Suites on Romeiser Drive
• Econo Lodge on Chambers Road

Cooke says the motels have 46 incidents between them. Those include robbery, human trafficking, drugs, shootings, and murder.

“I saw this was a remedy we could use and I just had it up to here with people making money by breaking the law and people having to live in fear,” Cooke said.

Cooke says he’s asking a judge to declare each property a public nuisance and take action.
