NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- The 33-year-old woman found dead and packed in dry ice in a luxury Newport Beach hotel room rented by a suspected cocaine dealer was wanted in Colorado on drug charges, the Orange County Register reported Sunday.

Monique Felicia Trepp, whose last known address was on 14th Street in Huntington Beach, was wanted on charges contained in several warrants, the newspaper reported.

Attorney Mark S. Rubinstein, who represented her on charges of possession of drugs for sale in Colorado in 2005, told the newspaper he remembered her being with "a much-older man," who posted her bail. Afterward, she left town, he said.

Rubinstein said he could not remember what kind of drugs she was charged with selling, but that the volume was significant.

"We usually don't see this kind of quantity" in the sparsely populated areas west of Denver, he told the Register.

Police found Trepp's body in large plastic container in room 966 at the Fairmont Hotel Thursday night after arresting Stephen David Royds, 46, on the grounds of the four-star property.

According to police, he used the alias Mel Profitttt -- virtually the same name of a manic-depressive drug kingpin in the 1987 season of television's "Wiseguy."

Royds was initially taken to Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian for "some medical condition," Newport Beach police Sgt. Jerry Lowe said. He was booked into Orange County Jail in Santa Ana Saturday and denied bail because of a suspected probation violation.

Royds is set to be arraigned on a charge of possessing cocaine for sale on Monday. So far, he has not been charged in Trepp's death.

Coroner's investigators have said that no evidence found during the gross autopsy suggested homicide, but no cause of death has been established, pending the results of toxicology tests, which could take several weeks.

In 2002, Royds pleaded guilty in Orange County Superior Court to five felonies -- four drug-related charges and possession of a forged driver's license, the Register reported citing court records.

The "Wiseguy" character Mel Profitt, played by Kevin Spacey, was a mad genius involved in international drug and weapons sales.

Police have not said how long Royds had been staying at the hotel or how long Trepp may have been dead.
