Daytona Beach police found drugs, guns and money during a raid of the Best Southern Sun Plaza Motel Sunday, which resulted in three arrests, including the owner and manager, according to a press release.
Officers arrested Frederick J. Hoffman, 69, the owner of the motel, and Dennis Kindziera, 63, the manager, the release said. Hoffman and Kindziera each face a felony charge of keeping a public nuisance structure for drug activity, according to the release. Hoffman had recently hired Kindziera to manage the motel, located at 1011 S. Ridgewood Ave., Daytona Beach.
“It’s clear that both Hoffman and Kindziera both knew about the Sun Plaza being a haven for drugs and neither one of them did anything about it,” said Daytona Beach police Patrol Capt. Scott Lee. “We won’t tolerate property owners or managers who let this kind of behavior slide.”
