A Florida couple was arrested Tuesday after failing to pay their $34.08 tab at Denny’s.
The couple only had $8 in cash between them and allegedly "yelled at, threatened, and then resorted to asking other customers" for help paying their bill, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
Lisa Marie Antonucci, 41, and Leonard Patrick Baker, 43, of no fixed address, sat down in the Hypoluxo Road eatery Monday night and ordered meals "which they both were served and did devour," a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office arrest report stated.
When the bill came, they couldn't pay it. Baker only had $8 in cash and Antonucci had no money or credit cards.
Confronted by the restaurant manager, Antonucci grew "loud and boisterous" and threatened diner staff and other patrons before asking them to chip in, deputies said.
Deputies discovered silverware in Baker’s front pockets. Both were booked. Baker was charged with theft and Antonucci was charged with theft and disorderly conduct.
