Columbus police will close what they call a crime-ridden hotel today. A Franklin County judge has ordered the Knights Inn on Dublin-Granville Road shut down, declaring it a public nuisance. Police have responded to nearly 800 calls at the hotel involving drug deals, prostitution and other crimes.  It's the fourth hotel closed by the courts this year.
