Police say they arrested a man suspected of selling fentanyl after a large bag of pills was found inside a room at the St. Paul Intercontinental Hotel by hotel staff.

A statement from the St. Paul Police Department said 35-year-old Giorgio Jovan Baymon was booked into Ramsey County Jail for suspected felony sale of controlled substances.

The pills were recovered by police just before noon on Tuesday, but officers say they returned later that night to make the arrest.

Police say Baymon was “suspected of being armed when he ran into the hotel as officers confronted him.”

A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS camera saw multiple officers and a SWAT team at the Intercontinental Hotel in the downtown area around 11 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Wabasha Street and Kellogg Boulevard.

Officers say a 40mm less-lethal round was used on Baymon before he was arrested.

No other injuries were reported.
