Two Salem residents were arrested for ID theft and other charges at a Howard Johnson motel, 2250 Mission St. SE, about 4 p.m. Friday, Salem police said.
Officers found Karey Phillips, 37, of Salem and Reyna Velasco, 27, of Salem at the motel after they learned both had warrants for arrest in relation to ID theft.
When officers tried to contact the suspects in the motel, neither responded. Police then obtained a warrant to make entry into their hotel room, said Salem police Lt. Jim Aguilar.
