Indy targets motels with high number of police runs

The Indianapolis City-County Council is debating a proposal aimed at “unsavory businesses.” City-County Councilor Jared Evans submitted Proposal 4 in an effort to fight back against motels and other businesses that have become havens for drug dealers, prostitution and other crimes.  “After I was elected in 2015, this was one of the most commented issues in our district,” said Evans. “These motels are issued licenses from the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services and if passed, this proposal will require a review of their police runs to rooms ratio.”
