When guests used a stolen credit card, SLO hotel called police. Here’s what they found
Two Fresno residents were arrested on suspicion of drug, fraud and property crimes in San Luis Obispo after hotel management alerted police to room payments made with a stolen credit card, police said.
Officers contacted Millie Millicent Popovic, 60, and Kenneth Vojislav Popovic, 36, in two separate rooms at a hotel in the 2000 block of Monterey Street, the San Luis Obispo Police Department said in a news release Wednesday.
There, police say officers found several ounces of methamphetamine and heroin packaged for sale along with other sales-related paraphernalia.
Officers also discovered dozens of “fraudulently manufactured credit cards embossed with stolen credit card information and an embossing machine,” police said.
Hotel management requested assistance with removing the suspects from the hotel because of the credit card issue.
Millie Popovic was arrested on suspicion of burglary, credit card theft and possession of narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia for sale, while Kenneth Popovic was arrested on suspicion of the same drug crimes as well as manufacturing fake credit cards and possessing a switchblade and credit card manufacturing equipment.
Millie and Kenneth Popovic were being held at San Luis Obispo County Jail late Wednesday morning in lieu of $50,000 bail each, jail records show.
