WESTBOROUGH – A man staying at the Extended Stay Hotel was arrested by police after he allegedly brandished a firearm.
According to information provided by the Westborough Police Department, officers went to the Extended Stay Hotel at 19 Connector Road on Wednesday, Aug. 9, for a report of a person brandishing a firearm.
Before they arrived, the officers learned that the suspect had allegedly used the firearm to threaten children that were running in the hallway. When the police arrived, hotel management and residents directed them to the suspect’s room, later identified as Marcos Menezes, 38.
