Description
El Cajon’s mayor and the county are once again exchanging words over the homelessness and influx of people using vouchers to stay in El Cajon motels.
The police department in El Cajon Police said it has arrested a number of people using the hotel vouchers.
Some had criminal histories or even felony arrest warrants.
"After they arrested a couple people, they went into their hotel rooms and found methamphetamines, scales, packaging to sell drugs so we're pretty sure the county is not vetting people before they're sending them to these programs," said Mayor Bill Wells.
