A report provided by Southington shows that at 5:18 p.m. the next day, officers responded to a vandalism complaint at Stoney Pasture.

According to a report, the owner of the residence, Adam Levine, and the "property manager," Tom Saat, told police Levine was "trapped" in Ecuador because of the coronavirus. While in Ecuador, Levine made the home a rental property through the Air BnB service with Saat handling all transactions, according to a report.

Levine and Saat told police that the residence was rented on June 12 for a one-night stay by an Air BnB customer who was identified as "Kay" on the web site. "Kay" originally advised Saat that there would be a total of 10 patrons at the home overnight, and the rental was "to get together to relieve stress brought upon by Covid," according to a report.

It seemed to turn into a virus violation. Saat said it appeared that "hundreds of people" were actually at the house, based on what he observed through video, according to a report.

Records show that Southington police responded to the residence twice during the overnight hours on June 13 for "loud noise complaints." Officers did not take any action because the noise was contained to inside the home and "no criminal activity was observed," according to a report.
Saat and Levine said the residence was left in extremely poor condition, and there was a great deal of damages.

Police added that no further action will be taken.

Records indicate Levine did not show up for a court proceeding after the town asked for an injunction against the parties.
