$5,000 tip on $55 bill leads to woman’s arrest in Florida

1

Police say a $5,000 (about P256,000) tip a woman left on a $55 (around P2,800) cafe bill was not a case of generosity or charity.

Serina Wolfe is accused of using her boyfriend’s credit card to leave the tip as revenge, and she is charged with theft in the incident.

Clearwater police say Wolfe was upset her boyfriend would not buy her a plane ticket home to Buffalo, New York. A police report says the boyfriend placed a hold on his credit card during the argument but later lifted it.

Investigators say Wolfe left the tip at a restaurant in Clearwater’s tourist district last week.

The boyfriend notified his credit-card company Monday, July 1 calling it a fraudulent charge. Wolfe was arrested Tuesday, July 2 on a felony grand-theft charge.

No one answered a phone number listed for Wolfe. RGA
