A housekeeper at America's Best Value Inn on Tuesday discovered some "goody bags" when cleaning up a motel room.
Not long after the discovery of various illegal drugs and paraphernalia in room 126 of the hotel, the Cortez Police Department was called in to investigate the incident.
Items seized as evidence by police officers include up to 30 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, 1.2 grams of methamphetamine, 10 glass pipes, four of which contained meth residue and Xanax, Carisoprodol 350 mg and two Fentaynyl Transdermal patches, all controlled substances, according to a city police report. The merchandise was found shortly after 10 a.m. Tuesday at the motel, which is located at 440 S. Broadway, Cortez.
The manager of America's Best Value Inn, Anup Shah, said two men called his office later Tuesday "asking if they could have their friends' bags," the police report states. Shah told the men, identified in the report as Tysen Sheets and Brandon Hackett, that authorities were called, and they could speak to the police about the items.
The hotel room was paid for by a credit card belonging to Cheyanne Dennison, according to the police report.
Angelia Herrmann, public information officer for the Cortez Police Department, said no arrests have been made, and noted the case involving the found property is under investigation. She declined further comment, including whether Sheets, Hackett and/or Dennison were suspects.
