FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) - A woman decided to go to jail rather
than pay her bill at a Fort Pierce Waffle House restaurant. The
total she went to jail over: $7.45.
According to a police report, Maryanne O'Neill, 66, ordered
coffee and a sandwich at a Waffle House restaurant on Saturday but
refused to pay the bill. The report says an officer asked her to
pay or go to jail and she refused.
A jail official says she was released Monday from the St. Lucie
County Jail. She is charged with obtaining food or lodging with
intent to defraud, a second degree misdemeanor. If convicted of a
second degree misdemeanor she could face up to 60 days in jail and
a fine of $500.

From the SunSentinel.com, she finished her meal and then said she was “going across the street to see a friend and would be back shortly”. She had no intention of paying for her meal. If I did not have any money and I was hungry, I would have asked someone first if they would pay for it because I just sat down and ate and then would not pay.  That is like “pre-meditated stealing??”. smile

Report Abuse

If I had been there and saw what was going on, I would have offered to pay the bill.  If I had been one of the cops, I would have paid her bill.
