RIPON - A black Nissan parked outside a Ripon motel displaying false registration shortly after midnight Tuesday was all that Ripon Police officer Stephen Meece needed to sniff out a double arrest on drug charges. Meece had been conducting a security check at the Blu-Lite Motel as part of the department’s ongoing motel interdiction effort aimed at combating drugs and prostitution. Ripon officers then kept the area adjacent to the Frontage Road under surveillance for several hours.
