The Alamance County District Attorney dismissed a breaking and entering charge against the co-owner of Pandora's Pies and The Fat Frogg Bar and Grill.

Peter Ustach, 29, was charged in October, but the case was thrown out soon after. Ustach never set foot in a courtroom. Ustach said the charges were incorrect, and no one wished to pursue charges.


 

Peter J. Ustach, 29 of Burlington, N.C. was arrested and charged with misdemeanor attempted breaking or entering a building on Sunday, October 18.

Ustach is part owner of Pandoras Pies and The Fat Frogg Bar and Grill, both located in Elon.

The reporting victim, William Stout of Thames Ct. called Elon Police around 9 p.m. Sunday. Stout said a white male wearing light colored shorts and a dark colored shirt with "Elon" written on the front of the shirt had attempted to open the front door of his residence.

Stout said he saw Ustach run into the woods behind his house.

When Elon Police found Ustach, they said he had red glassy eyes and a moderate odor of alcohol on his breath. Elon Police said he was noticeably impaired.

According to the police report, Ustach explained to Elon Police that he was trying to walk home but took a wrong turn. He stated that he knew he went to the wrong house as he was trying to find his friend's house on Orange Dr.

During transport to Alamance County jail, Ustach verbally vented his frustration about the incident, and how it could have been handled differently, according to the police report.

Elon Town Police, Elon University Police and the Burlington Police K-9 Unit all responded to this incident.

Ustach will appear in court on November 24.
