U.S. Marshals arrest suspect at hotel outside Manassas

U.S. Marshals made an arrest this morning at a hotel outside Manassas.

Authorities tracked the suspect to a Days Inn on New Market Court, near the intersection of Sudley Road and Interstate 66.

Members of the U.S. Marshals Capital Area Taskforce knocked on the hotel room door of the suspect, who was arrested without incident, said spokesman Desmond Proctor.

A 22-year-old woman who was inside the hotel room was also charged with a lesser infraction. Proctor could not release the details of her arrest.

Prince William police issued a warrant for the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Derek Mantilla, on Aug. 21, said Proctor. Warrants for his arrest were also issued in Loudoun County, and by federal officials, he added.

Proctor said Mantilla was wanted on charges of gang participation and prostitution.

Mantilla was taken to the Prince William County Adult Detention Center where he will be seen first on the charges placed against him in Prince William County, said Proctor.
