Newberg-Dundee police have apprehended four suspects in a robbery at a local hotel early Thursday morning, Dec. 19.
According to a release from the Newberg-Dundee Police Department, officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Best Western Hotel at 2211 Portland Road early Thursday morning.
“A hotel guest reported being robbed at gunpoint by four individuals,” the release said, adding that the victim aided in the ensuing investigation by providing descriptions of the suspects to police dispatchers. The victim was not injured in the incident.
Shortly after the robbery was reported, an officer witnessed a vehicle leaving the parking lot of the hotel. The officer stopped the vehicle, detained the four occupants and subsequently arrested them after finding a firearm, narcotics, drug paraphernalia and property allegedly stolen from the victim, who knew two of the alleged assailants.
Arrested were John Donnahoo, 30, of Portland; Michala Brown, 34, of Portland; Adrian Lambright, 34, of McMinnville, and Emily Bojorcas, 30, of McMinnville. Past court records indicate that all four defendants have had ongoing run-ins with the law and have been arrested on drug, theft, assault and other charges in the past.
