Manager stole from our tip pool. Is this even legal?

I reside in the state of Utah. Where I work during a shift it’ll be me and a manager and maybe one other coworker. We serve and bartend (including the manager) for the restaurant and we split cash tips and card tips equally. The other day my manager decided to pocket a cash tip and I physically saw him do it. He never split it and went home with it. If he forgot it he’d mention it by now. Isn’t that stealing from a tip pool? On top of that I heard it is illegal for managers to make tips or even take part in a tip pool. Is that true? He is considered our FOH manager. He does scheduling, serves, bartends, etc.
