I was out walking my dogs and heading for a loop around downtown Cloverdale only to find 176th Street behind yellow police tape and a police officer standing on the corner at 58th Avenue. I can see down the road that the police tape is across 57th Avenue too. I spoke with a man who was talking to the police officer and all I can find out is the police are trying to bring a bad man out of the White Hotel. Apparently he's wanted for murder. The back alley is also behind police tape and there is an ambulance parked at the back of the hotel.
Nothing on the news yet.
The White Hotel is located on the west side of 176th Street near Hawthorne Square. Its about 100 years old and in the past has been a rooming house for more or less unsavory types. A couple of years ago a notice was placed on the door by the owner saying in an attempt to attract a better clientele he had renovated the hotel into one bedroom and bachelor suites for rent.
