A Texas hotel may be shut down after 693 police calls were made in just two years at the property for suspected illegal and gang-related activity, according to legal documents.
The Gateway Hotel has received a temporary and permanent injunction from the El Paso County Attorney’s Office to cease operations after “habitual criminal activity” was discovered.
“The large volume of calls for service to a single business and State’s analysis of police reports show that the Gateway has habitual criminal activity that violates the CPRC, and additional crimes that contributes to the overall blight this business brings to downtown El Paso,” reads the El Paso County Attorney’s complaint.
