While
conducting surveillance, investigators saw Donquell James Allen, 29,
leave the room where the woman agreed to meet and go to a car in the

2 Men Arrested In Elkridge In Drug And Human Trafficking Case
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Two Baltimore men have been arrested in a drug and human trafficking case in which crack cocaine and money were being traded for sex with a young woman, police say.
Around 1 a.m. November 17, two officers were on patrol in the Elkridge area when they observed two suspicious men walking from the Hillside Motel in the 6300 block of Washington Boulevard.
After approaching the men and talking to them, the officers noticed one of the men reaching for an unknown object. When asked what he was reaching for, the man told officers it was a knife.
The officers say the same man, 34-year-old William Wyatt, was also carrying a handgun, seven vials of crack cocaine, five bags of marijuana, over $650 cash, two cell phones, and a key to a room at the motel.
