An investigating officer determined that the thief was a housekeeping employee and had allegedly stolen a laptop computer worth about $1,000.
The subject had removed the laptop from the building and sold it to a pawn shop, DPS reports state.
DPS obtained a felony warrant for the suspect's arrest, and the suspect was taken into custody.
The computer was recovered and the employee was detained at the Washtenaw County Jail pending arraignment.
The operator told the caller no direct line was available for the security officers, and the caller declined a transfer.
The operator received several additional calls and when a caller was informed again that there was no direct line, he said, "That's OK. We have somebody here with a gun," and hung up.
The operator contacted DPS officers to inform them of the call, DPS reports state. DPS traced the call to Markley.
Officers made contact with seven subjects in the room who said they had no knowledge of the incident.
All of the subjects were in the same room and possessed alcoholic beverages.
DPS reports state the subjects were 18 and 19 years old and all received tickets for minor in possession charges.
The Union manager told DPS officials the bride's backpack had been sorted through and a credit card was missing.
Another woman's purse, which included several credit cards, also was stolen, DPS reports state. Around the time of the first larceny report, another caller reported that a cell phone had been stolen from the lower level of the Union.
Officers were dispatched, and multiple incident reports were filed.
The scratching had gone unreported, but the employee wanted to confer with a veterinarian about any possible problems or dangers that could result from the scratching.
DPS contacted a veterinarian.
No report was filed.
At the time of the call to DPS, the subjects were separated, but continued to argue verbally.
DPS officers conducted a warrant check on both subjects. A 19-year-old male came up negative on the check, but a 38-year-old male's check came back with two outstanding warrants.
One of the man's warrants was for urinating in public in Ypsilanti. The other was for retail fraud in Battle Creek.
The Ypsilanti Police Department confirmed the warrant but did not pick up the suspect, according to DPS reports.
Officials filed a report in regards to the fight. Neither individual pressed charges.
