The council member said he visited the Super 8 on Kings Mills Road June 11 to pass a note to a Chinese woman whose father he met at a nearby Verizon Wireless store.
"No good deed goes unpunished," he said.
Cox said the father could not speak English well, and the note was written in a foreign language, but he could tell the man was concerned about his daughter.
Ferrell said detectives "staked out" the hotel room and within about five minutes saw Cox enter. He was inside with the door closed for about 15 minutes, according to the police report.
Cox said he stayed in the room because it was hard to communicate with the woman and she asked about where she could get food. He said he did not think the room was being used for prostitution because he has "no idea what that would look like."
Police questioned Cox when he exited and also interviewed the woman inside.
The 32-year-old woman was wearing a black mini skirt, according to the report. Officers found several condom wrappers in the trash can, a notebook that appeared to be a ledger and money protruding from her pocket, the report states.
