A man was busted last week for trying to meeting an underage girl at a Secaucus hotel “for sexual activity,” Police Chief Dennis Miller announced.

On August 15th at approximately 9:09 p.m., Secaucus police responded to the Best Western Plus, located at 250 Harmon Meadow Boulevard, and observed suspicious activity on the scene, Miller said in a statement.
As a result, Darwin Urgiles, 34, of North Bergen, was charged with enticing a child. Urgiles was issued his complaint summons and was released from police custody, authorities said.
“The defendant intended on meeting a juvenile female for sexual activity. However, his arrest was based on probable cause determined by the on scene investigation,” the chief added following an inquiry from HCV.
It has come to our attention that a sting operation- orchestrated by a Youtuber, is unaffiliated with our hotel. This activity was conducted without the knowledge, consent, or approval of hotel management.
We want to make it absolutely clear that no child was present at our property and this incident does not reflect our hotel, our staff, or our standards in any way. The use of our parking lot was unauthorized, and any implication that our hotel was involved is both misleading and damaging to our reputation.
We respectfully request that this content be removed immediately to prevent further harm to our business and to ensure that the public is not misled about our hotel’s role in this matter.
