_ 1503 McDonald Rd.: Police were called to the Waverly motel on Wednesday morning  to investigate “unknown trouble.”  According to an affidavit of complaint, officers were advised by dispatchers that multiple phone calls were coming in from a woman who appeared to be in some type of disorder with a man. Dispatch was unable to get a room number from the caller who kept repeatedly hanging up. 

The report states that officers knocked on multiple doors of the motel trying to find the woman in trouble. While conducting the investigation, a woman wearing a dark-colored hoodie came from the back of the motel and began rapidly walking away from the scene. According to the report, the woman was the one who called police, and as police began speaking with her she dropped her gloves twice without realizing it.

The report states that the woman, who was visibly nervous, identified herself as “April Hart” and gave officers a date of birth and a social security number. While police were attempting to positively identify the woman, she admitted that she had a “bowl” and she turned over a methamphetamine pipe to police.

Later, the woman told police that her true identity was April Dawn Romine and that she had also given police a false social security number. The report states that police placed Romine in custody for Criminal Impersonation and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. When police searched her person, they located .3 grams of methamphetamine that she had concealed in a small bag  in her bra. 

Romine, 40, from a Melissa Lane address in Rising Fawn, Ga., is due to appear in East Ridge Municipal Court on April 18.
