A waitress who asked a woman to show proof of age upon ordering a drink was shown her own license, police said.
The waitress, a 22-year-old Lakewood woman, had reported her wallet stolen from a bar on July 9. Her driver's license and credit card were in the wallet. The credit card had already been used for $1,000 in illicit purchases, authorities said.
Last week, the waitress was working at the Moosehead Saloon when the stolen license was produced, officers said.
As the waitress called Westlake police, the woman apparently got suspicious and took off , according to police. She was identified by a friend as Maria Bergan, 23.
Bergan was arrested at her home Saturday night. She remains in the Westlake City Jail.
Sweet!
Criminals sure can be stupid.
Man, that's got to be gratifying!
Someone should have snapped a picture with a cell phone before they ran away.
The bartender told me about it later on that night. He and I had a good laugh over it.
OMG! Put this in breaking News!!1!1!
She was plenty old enough to drink and the credit card had most likely been cancelled. Why was she still using the fake ID? Idiot criminal.
"It's square and it has your picture on it," says the cop in disgust. The blond digs some more and produces a compact, opens it, sees her face, closes it, and hands it to the cop.
The cop opens it, shuts it, and says "You can go. I didn't know you were a police officer."
ba-da-bing! I'll be here all week...
''Shakedown, breakdown, honey
''Just about the time you're thinkin' it's alright
''Breakdown, takedown, you're busted.
A friend's truck was stolen and it had his check book in it. He got a call from a local pizza place saying that the delivery boy had just accepted a check even though he was told not to. They just wanted to make sure the check was good. Well the police refused to go to the delivery location and arrest the person who wrote the check as their was no proof they had done anything wrong.
Stick around, Folks .... Bill's got a million of 'em ....... /chuckle
