A clerk told police that one man entered the hotel lobby and demanded cash, a report states. The suspect kept his hands hidden but acted as if he carried a gun.

Honeycutt had previously served prison time in South Carolina and was recently arrested in Pickens County, police said. He was turned over to Rock Hill police after he finished serving time in Pickens County.
