MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. —

A Horry County judge declared a Myrtle Beach motel a nuisance after hundreds of police and fire calls tied to drug activity and growing safety concerns, according to police.

The Myrtle Beach Police Department said the judge signed an order declaring the Twilight Surf Hotel a nuisance as of Nov. 17.

Police said the nuisance action was filed by the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, which worked in conjunction with the police department, to stop and correct dangerous and illegal activity happening at the property.

State law says a place is considered a nuisance when it is used for repeated drug activity or ongoing breaches of the peace. Police say the Twilight Surf has been a location for both and therefore meets the definition of a nuisance.
