Colonie

Police responding with guns drawn took two men into custody at the Cocca's Inn & Suites at the southern end of Wolf Road on Saturday afternoon.

No details were immediately available, but at least a half-dozen town police vehicles were seen in and around the hotel's parking lot. Armed police were positioned behind their cruisers.

"We have nothing to report at this time," a Colonie Police dispatcher told the Times Union when asked for details on the incident.

The response appeared to be resolved without any major incidents or injuries at about 1:45 p.m.

Police spent time searching the rooms of the hotel before putting two men into handcuffs and taking them away in police cruisers.

Police had shut down portions of Wolf Road and Central Avenue around the hotel, causing long backups of traffic into the intersection where Cocca's is located near an on-ramp to the Northway.

Traffic in and out of the parking lot of Colonie Center mall also became backed up, with motorists getting out of their cars and watching the incident unfold from the former Sears auto shop parking lot.

Reached Saturday evening, Cocca's owner Rocky Cocca said that the hotel was still open for guests to check in, and no damage occurred to the room where the pair were staying. Cocca said he was not aware of the details that led to the incident, but he said that nothing was destroyed and no one hurt as far as he knew.

"We have no information," Cocca said. "We don't know what happened. It's in the hands of the police department. They just took two people out of there. Nothing at all."
