MOTEL MAYHEIM

       On April 30, 2016 at approximately 1015 hours, a female entered into the Historic Rocksprings Hotel and decided she needed to utilize the facility without payment or permission. The female was later identified as Arian Sorola (28 years old) San Angelo resident. Sorola entered into a room that was rented at the time and began helping herself to the victim’s property, cash as well as to help herself to the hotel’s amenities by taking a shower while the victim was visiting local attractions in Rocksprings. When the victim returns to his room he discovers Sorola inside his room and notifies the hotel owners, Mr. & Mrs. Craig Wolcott who immediately notified the Edwards County Sheriff’s Office while Sorola fled the scene on foot. The male victim pursued her but Sorola quickly turned on him and tried to stab him with a pencil she had stolen from him which caused him to fall to the ground. Sorola was later discovered by a witness hiding in a vehicle after she had burglarized a building in the area of Kimble and College Street, Rocksprings, TX.
