A University of Michigan student and former member of the disbanded Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity was arraigned Monday on a charge of malicious destruction of a building, a felony, for his alleged role in the vandalism of Treetops Resorts in January.

Matthew Leonard Vlasic, one of three U-M students who has been charged in the vandalism, was formally charged at an Otsego County court earlier this morning. The charge, which specifies that the damage was more than $1,000 but less than $20,000, carries a maximum penalty of five years in jail.

Vlasic joins other ex-SAM members Joshua Kaplan and Zachary Levin, who were both charged with selling or furnishing an alcoholic beverage or a controlled substance to a minor for consumption. The crime is punishable by imprisonment for not more than 30 days or by a fine of not more than $1,000, or both.

Kaplan and Levin, both 19, waived their rights to an arraignment in written statements during the last week of March, days after Otsego County Prosecutor Mike Rola formally charged them.

The charges stem from the Jan. 16-18 ski trip at Treetops Resorts, in which more than 100 members of SAM and more than 100 members of the sorority Sigma Delta Tau were present when more than 40 rooms were damaged.

Barry Owens, the general manager of Treetops, said that damages, including out-of-pocket expenses to contractors and third parties for cleaning, extensive repairs, and replacement furniture and fixtures, total about $230,000.

Lost revenue, attorneys and accounting fees, and rebuilding the "damage to the resort's reputation" will cost upwards of $200,000, Owens said.

Damages ranged from broken doors and fixtures, holes in the walls and ceilings, broken televisions, trashed rooms, and much more.

In the weeks after the vandalism, U-M suspended the fraternity and the national chapter also said it would no longer recognize the U-M chapter, calling for the chapter to disband.

Levin, the fraternity's former event planner, and Kaplan, who served as the president of the organization, are due to appear in court Wednesday, April 22, for pretrial hearings.
