Twinsburg Twins Cause Stir at Blue Top Motel

Police say one of the brothers stole a man's car

With this pair of twins, it can be double trouble.

Twinsburg police were called out to the Blue Top Motel on Ravenna Road on May 21 for a disturbance call. They found two men in the parking lot, apparently drunk.

One of the men was Todd Andrews, 29, of Twinsburg. He told police he and his brother were out drinking with the other man and when they got back to the motel, his brother, Tim Andrews, 29, of Twinsburg, took the man's truck to go for a beer run. Todd said the man gave Tim the keys, but had no idea where his brother was.

The victim's story was a bit different. He told officers he was beaten up and knocked unconcious as he was standing outside his room. Because both men were extremely intoxicated and the man couldn't remember who hit him, they were both told to stay in their rooms.

Police were called back again that night when a witness said Todd was beating on the man's door. He was arrested for disorderly conduct.

The victim then told police what he remembered. He said the three did go out drinking, but when they got back, he was hit in the head and knocked out. When he woke up, he saw a man in his room and was struck down again. He said he was then dragged out into the parking lot, when another man left with his keys and phone.

The next morning Tim was brought to the police station by Todd's wife. He said after the three got back the night before, he was using the bathroom when the man freaked out. He admitted to knocking him to the ground when he threatened to call police. He then heard the police were on the way and took the truck and left. He drove all the way to Sheetz in Ravenna and spent the night.

Both were charged with aggravated burglary, robbery and abduction.
