On Tuesday, March 19, an officer was dispatched to the Red Roof Inn on Cabot Boulevard West in the Langhorne section of Falls Township following a lead on an advertisement for sexual services, police said.
Initial attempts to identify the woman, who was believed to be named “Kaylee” according to the hotel’s roster, proved fruitless, police said.
Further investigation revealed that the woman was checked in under the alias “Sarah.”

As officers dug deeper, they discovered that neither Kaylee nor Sarah were the woman’s real names. She was using another person’s identification without consent, police said.
The real owner of the identification was contacted by an officer and confirmed she had no knowledge of the woman and had not permitted her ID to be used, police said.

Tracing the payment for the hotel room, an officer successfully identified the suspect as a 29-year-old resident of Fairless Hills, who was wanted on an active arrest warrant in New Jersey, police said.
On March 27, police learned that the woman had returned to the Red Roof Inn and was once again using an identification that was not hers.
The 29-year-old woman was located at a nearby store and taken into custody, police said.

After the arrest, the 29-year-old woman disclosed to an officer that she had used someone else’s identification because she no longer used her driver’s license, police said.
A search revealed that the woman had several credit and debit cards in other people’s names.
