WRTV INVESTIGATES | After receiving 468 calls to the hotel since 2019 a multi-agency inspection in Johnson County this morning at the Red Carpet Inn and Fanta Suites found plumbing issues, roaches and mold.
Health inspectors found concerns regarding roaches, mold and plumbing back-ups in some rooms, according to Betsy Swearingen, Public Health Preparedness Coordinator at the Johnson County Health Department.
Police officers also served a search warrant due to inspectors observing narcotics and firearms in plain view while conducting an inspection of an occupied room.As the inspection began, the hotel's owner asked WRTV to leave the property. “She was very happy-go-lucky,” said Smith’s sister, Kristine Auclerc. “She was always happy, always smiling.”
Smith died of an accidental overdose of amphetamine, methamphetamine and fentanyl, Johnson County Coroner Mike Pruitt said Wednesday.Just last year, records show overdose deaths on April 23, April 26 and September 9."It is awful,” said Auclerc. “It's a black hole. Shut it down. Get rid of it." Campbell points out that even if a business meets the threshold for police calls, the city has to take additional steps before a license can be revoked including allowing the business to receive training.
