A man was issued a summons following a series of events at the University Motor Inn beginning on the evening of Thursday, March 20. Management at the inn called the police on Friday, March 21, in regards to a theft that had occurred the night before at the Staar Club, located in the basement of the inn. Someone had tried to steal a bag of potato chips, but was stopped. However, the management decided to watch the surveillance video just in case. The video showed two men leaving the bar at roughly 12 a.m., and one of the men left the bar through the door to the kitchen. He was then seen reaching into the beer cooler three times. The bartender identified the man as Jamie Matthews, 26. She was able to identify him because he used a credit card to pay for his drinks. An inventory report showed that there were at least 12 beers missing from the cooler.
The following evening, Saturday, March 22 at 6:30 p.m., the owner of the club called police stating that Matthews was back at the club.

He said he was highly intoxicated and was very sorry for his actions. He claimed to have only taken four beers. As a result of his confession, he was issued a summons for theft and was asked to leave the club.
