Fugitive arrested

A Fort Mill Township woman was arrested as a fugitive from justice in a hotel in Fort Mill on Thursday, Aug. 21, according to A York County Sheriff's Office report.

Dawn Blessing, 40, who gave the hotel as her address was arrested after a deputy entered the hotel room when he received information by motel management that one of the three suspects from a drug arrest the prior evening had been seen leaving the room, according to the report.

That same room has an extensive history of housing prostitutes and drugs, according to police. The deputy located the tenant of the room and was given permission to search it.

He allegedly found several crack pipes and spoons for cooking cocaine. Blessing and another suspect allegedly admitted to prostitution activities in North Carolina.

A warrant check on Blessing showed that she was wanted with full extradition from Charlotte, according to the report. The management of the hotel is looking into evicting another person they described as a permanent resident of the room for allegedly providing a place for drug use and facilitating prostitution using the hotel's computer.
