TRAVERSE CITY, MI -- A man staying at the Grand Traverse Resort
caused more than $10,000 in damage to 30 or more vehicles at the hotel
complex over Memorial Day weekend, police say.
Authorities arrested a 19-year-old Traverse City man Sunday after
being called to the resort at 5:23 a.m., when a woman found her car had
been broken into overnight. Sheriff's deputies discovered about 30
parked cars had been damaged, with the destruction ranging from mirrors
being ripped off and tail lights being broken to windows being smashed
out. Police say a Jeep's soft top was slashed and a Cadillac Escalade's
LCD radio display was destroyed. Repair estimates are in the "tens of thousands of dollars," police said.
Police say the investigation led to the man, who was staying at the
resort with family, and that he admitted to damaging the cars. He was
arrested on felony malicious destruction of property charges and was
lodged in the Grand Traverse County Jail.
Anyone affected by the offenses or who knows more about it is asked to call police at 231-922-4770, Ext 5955.
