Woman who gave server generous $5,000 tip allegedly used her boyfriend's credit card for revenge
A woman, who was praised for her generosity after leaving a hefty $5,000 tip for a server at Clear Sky Cafe in Clearwater, Fla., has been arrested and charged with grand theft for allegedly using her boyfriend's credit card after he refused to buy her a plane ticket back to New York.
Serina Wolfe, 24, allegedly used her boyfriend's credit card without his knowledge after he would not buy her a plane ticket back home to Buffalo, N.Y., Fox 2 Now reports. While Wolfe's boyfriend had initially put a hold on his credit card, so Wolfe would not be able to use it to buy the ticket, he eventually lifted it. Wolfe then allegedly used the card to leave a tip of $5,000 on a bill that cost $55.37, which was reported four days ago by multiple outlets.
It is not known if the server will get to keep the money. The restaurant has already paid out the tip to the server. However, Wolfe's boyfriend marked the charge as fraudulent.
It was previously reported that the server, Ryan, had been going through a tough time, including having to recently put her dog down.
Wolfe had, at first, denied making the purchase, and her boyfriend believed she was either drunk or trying to exact revenge. She voluntarily gave her boyfriend's card to deputies and was arrested for grand theft.
