Three fugitives found sleeping in a car outside a hotel

Two men and a woman, wanted for thefts in North Carolina, were arrested after Myrtle Beach police found them sleeping in a car outside a hotel early Monday morning.

Officers were flagged down about the sleeping subjects shortly after 1 a.m. outside the Fountainbleau Inn.

Police say the suspects were hesitant and mumbled when giving them information. Officers used a fingerprint reader to confirm their identities and their prints showed they were wanted out of N.C., according to an incident report.

Twenty-one-year-old Isaiah Immannuel White and 20-year-old Leah Shakira White were both wanted for robbery charges; 18-year-old Malik Danthony Medley was wanted for larceny, according to the report.

All three were arrested on fugitive charges and are being held for extradition.
