DETROIT — Three University of Michigan students face criminal charges stemming from a rampage through Treetops Resort near Gaylord, Mich., in January that left $400,000 in damages.

Otsego County Prosecutor Michael Rola issued 30-day misdemeanor charges against sophomores Joshua Kaplan and Zachary Levin, both 19, alleging the pair allowed minors in their supervision to drink alcohol. A third student, who was not identified Tuesday because he has not been arraigned, was charged with malicious destruction of property over $1000. His attorney, Mark Kriger, did not return phone calls.

"When persons commit crimes in large groups, and it's not caught on tape, it can require extensive additional investigation," he said, adding that he anticipates charging more students soon.

The charges come two months after police say more than 120 Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity members tore up the ski resort the night of Jan. 17-18, destroying ceiling tiles, exit signs, breaking furniture and doors and urinating on carpets. Members from its sister sorority, Sigma Delta Tau, were also at the resort but none has been charged. Forty-five rooms were damaged.
