Woman arrested after feasting on big meal, then saying she has no money to pay
Bradenton Herald ^ | 8/30/2016 | Jessica De Leon

Posted on 09/01/2016 8:38:11 AM PDT by simpson96

A Bradenton woman ordered and feasted on a steak dinner and chocolate cake, but when the bill came she refused to pay, stating she had no money, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

Ana Bulovic, 28, decided to treat herself at Cody’s Roadhouse in Bradenton Monday afternoon, even though she knew she didn’t have any money to pay the bill, according to an arrest report.

The feast, which totaled $43.58, ended with her getting arrested and charged with petit theft. She is being held at the Manatee County jail on a $120 bond.

When Bulovic was presented her tab at about 4:30 p.m. Monday, staff at Cody’s told deputies she refused to pay, so the sheriff’s office was called, the report states. When a deputy arrived, the restaurant manager said they wanted to press charges if she did not pay for the meal.

The deputy approached Bulovic as she was eating her chocolate cake, he reported, and asked if she had any money for the food.

“Ana told me the bill was higher than she expected, and when I asked how much money she had, she informed me ‘zero,’” the deputy wrote in his arrest report.

The deputy asked why she had ordered the food if she knew she didn’t have any money, and Bulovic told him just to give her a fine and she would leave. But the deputy told her if she didn’t pay she was going to be arrested, to which she responded, “Let’s go.”

Buovic was taken to jail.

Meth is a hell of a drug


Yeah, I think this might be her before meth.

Here’s the text in the “description” of the video....

“I support clean energy! http://repoweramerica.org/wall";

I don’t think the “wall” in the web address refers to the Trump Wall...

Sad. She has other arrests (trespass, shoplifting). Sounds like she's been homeless for a while. She has a brother and sister somewhere.

Since she volunteered for jail, I hope she takes this as an opportunity to change things, deo volente.

Those circumstances put me in mind of Henry Fonda's character in Grapes of Wrath. He walked into that Chinese guy's diner and offered to do some manual labor in exchange for a bowl of chili.

It was a different time I guess.

Restaurants need people who will help, not hinder things in the kitchen-dishwashers especially have to work hard. Forcing her to “work” to pay off her tab would hurt the restaurant for 5 hours, not help it.

Steak dinner followed by free meals in jail.

Under Obama’s set bond according to ability to pay, I foresee bond being reduced from $120 to $0, she should be out in no time with a court appointed and paid for attorney.

The state would probably be better off paying for the $45 dinner and setting her free, under an agreement with the court, that if she does it again, she spends some serious time in prison.

“There were no dishes that needed to be washed? I guess they don’t do that anymore”

These days it might be a Health Department issue. Maybe you need to be trained, certified, proven to have no communicable diseases, etc.

Welcome to modern America. If you’re hungry, eat. If you can’t pay, so what? The restaurant is rich.

“Sounds like the M.O. of a filthy gypsy.”

I think you are right.

Scum.

[ Sounds like the M.O. of a filthy gypsy.

I hate those people. ]

Trash is Trash, be it from Roma or Irish “travelers” or “bohemians”, their culture is a decayed corrupt one ( take as much as you can from anyone else ), type of mentality that is very similar to the envy based system of socialism...

There have been several popular drama shows that tried “romanticize” the “Gypsy” lifestyle. and the message is not, that they should join our society and change some of their backwards ways, but that WE need to ACCEPT and CONFORM to THEIR way of “Living” instead....

Which is more PC cultism drivel and does nothing to deal with the negative aspects of their culture that are in desperate need of reform.
