Police are searching for a man considered to be armed and dangerous after he fled from a motel room with illegal drugs inside, which resulted in the arrest of a Florida woman.
An officer with the Lake Wales Police Department noticed a vehicle parked in front of room number five at the Prince of Wales motel that matches a vehicle usually driven by Carlos Williams, 24, who is wanted on multiple violent felony crimes.
Williams is wanted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence charges.
Police spoke to room number five's occupant, 43-year-old Shanell Mickel, who informed the officer that Williams was not in the room at the time but had been there earlier.

They located 171.6 grams of cocaine, 193 Xanax pills weighing 72.6 grams, 24 Hydrocodone pills weighing 17.7 grams, as well as a scale with cocaine residue, baggies and other miscellaneous paraphernalia.
