Inside the Police Reports: Drinking and Dashing

A server at a local Frontera told police that a customer dined and drank at the restaurant one evening and left after paying only a portion of the bill.

According to the Gwinnett County Police report, the customer came into the 1295 Indian Trail Rd. establishment around 5 p.m. on a recent Thursday.

Over the course of an hour and 45 minutes, he ordered four glasses of Patron at $14.99 each, totaling his bill to $63.56. 

The server, 23, told police that while he was at the other side of the restaurant, he saw the customer get up from his table, walk outside to the patio and jump the fence.

The employee ran out and caught him while he was about to drive off in his truck. Opening the car door, the server simply told him he forgot to pay his bill. The customer said he left the money on the table, and he drove away.

When the employee returned to the table, he only saw a $20 bill.

The suspect is a white male who stands at 6 feet tall. The report does not list an age range, but the server was able to provide the tag number for the customer's car, which was a newer model Chevrolet Silverado.
