Las Vegas police surrounded a small motel on the Las Vegas Strip as they looked for a wanted suspect about 3:20 a.m. Wednesday.
At least 10 police cars were in front of and around the Diamond Inn, 4605 Las Vegas Blvd. South, near Russell Road.
“The individual initially refused to exit the room, causing a shutdown of Las Vegas Blvd between Harley Davidson and Four Seasons,” police Lt. David Gordon said in a news release about 6 a.m. “The suspect exited the room and was taken into custody without incident. Roads should be opening up soon.”
Northbound traffic on Las Vegas Boulevard was stopped for the police activity.
