Troopers spoke to the victim at the hotel and began canvassing the area for the person responsible. They said they learned the man had been armed with a handgun during the assault.

Police viewed video from the lobby and parking lot, which helped them identify a 36-year-old Detroit man as the suspect, they said.

The Second District Fugitive team and detectives executed a search warrant at the man’s home and took him into custody, according to officials. A pistol was also found at the home, police said.

Charges are pending prosecutor review.
