The Bucks County Sheriff’s Office Warrant Service Unit arrived at the SpringHill Suites on North Buckstown Road on the morning of Feb. 6 to locate a man wanted on four probation violation warrants and one domestic relations warrant.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies identified a vehicle in the parking lot registered to a 51-year-old Levittown woman.
After speaking with hotel staff, deputies located the woman, who they described as uncooperative, authorities said.

Deputies said the woman claimed she had not seen the wanted man “in a while” and allowed deputies to search her hotel room.
The man was not found during that initial search.
Shortly after, deputies watched the woman driving away from the scene.
A records check revealed her driver’s license was suspended.

Later that morning, deputies returned to the hotel to continue their search.
The sheriff’s office said they discovered the woman had checked out of the first room prior to the first search and had moved to a different room within the hotel.
As they went to check the second room, the wanted man exited and was taken into custody without further incident, the sheriff’s office said.
