UPDATE FEB. 13: Matthew Ralphs, 28, has been arrested in connection with an incident that reportedly involved him stealing gift cards and money from a Las Vegas wedding on Feb. 8.
Ralphs was taken into custody on Tuesday and is facing felony charges of burglary and grand larceny.
The 28-year-old was caught on security footage at the Emerald at Queensridge wedding venue, taking cards from a couple's card box, according to an arrest report.
Police searched Ralphs' room, and reportedly they found ten gift cards, most of unknown values. He also said he threw cards and checks in a dumpster after leaving the wedding venue and put $250 in the glove box of his girlfriend's car.
The wedding party shared a partial list with police that showed at least $950 cash, a $200 check, a $100 Amazon gift card, and a $100 Benihana gift card were missing.
Ralphs told the police he stole the money because his girlfriend is pregnant and a friend had given him the idea. His next court date is scheduled for Feb. 26.
