When officers caught up with a felon accused of pistol-whipping a woman in a Hartford hotel lobby Thursday, they found more than the handgun on him, police said.

Marquis Henry, 33, of Barbour Street also had ammunition, crack cocaine, marijuana and Oxycodone pills before he was taken into custody, they said.

The assault happened at the Super 8 by Wyndham, 57 West Service Road, about 1:30 p.m., police said. They were told Henry argued with a woman in the lobby, removed a gun from his waistband and struck her head with it several times. He then pointed the gun at her before leaving.
