Talk Of Warrant Spurs Motel Guests To Call Police

MARY LOUISE KELLY, host:

Good morning. I'm Mary Louise Kelly.

Here's a tip. If you're on the run from the law, keep it to yourself. Richard Vermilia(ph) checked into the Travelers Motel in Delmar, Maryland, went to his room and proceeded to have a loud phone conversation about the warrant for his arrest. Other motel guests could hear him through the walls. They called the police. Vermilia was arrested. Turns out he was wanted for failure to appear in a theft case and for violation of probation.
