Police responded to a drug complaint at the Super 8 motel at 7249 New Market Ct. in Manassas on Sept. 19, at 11:06 p.m. Officers spoke to the men, who were in room #276, because of the odor of marijuana coming from the room, according to Officer Jonathan Perok, of the Prince William County Police Department.
