Northborough police, according to the Telegram, caught Ortiz after he texted a police officer, "thinking it was the girl, and told her he had booked a room at the Econo Lodge Motel in Northboro, where he wanted to meet up with her again."

No date has been set for his arraignment in Worcester Superior Court.
