Marietta Police said today they’ve made four arrests for human trafficking activity they say was taking place at a motel in the Delk Road area.
Police said they got a 911 call early Monday morning from a 15-year-old girl who said she was forced to have sex with multiple men in a room at the Days Inn (2191 Northwest Parkway). The girl said she was told she would be killed if she tried to leave, according to police.
Police said Marietta detectives rescued the girl and took out search warrants for two rooms at the Days Inn, arresting three suspects there and another at a nearby motel.
Marietta Police say the following individuals have been charged and were taken into custody at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center Monday afternoon:
- Kamari Bolden, 22, of Atlanta, trafficking;
- Laura Waugh, 17, of Morrow, trafficking and giving a false name and date of birth;
- Kenneth Thomas, 22, of Fairburn, keeping a place of prostitution and pimping;
- Douglas White, 26, of Dallas, trafficking and pimping.
Bolden, Thomas and White are being held without bond and Waugh is being held on a $25,000 bond, according to Cobb Sheriff’s Office records.
Police said the investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to call Marietta Police Detective Mark Erion at 770-794-5363.
