Police: Woman arrested for leaving $5,000 Tip On Boyfriend’s Credit Card After Fight

A woman who gave a waitress in Clearwater, Florida a $5,000 tip was arrested after using her boyfriend’s credit card, according to authorities. 24-year-old Serina Wolfe of Buffalo, N.Y., was upset that he wouldn’t buy her a plane ticket to New York, according to an arrest affidavit. Initial reports said she left the generous tip for a waitress grieving the loss of her dog. Deputies said he initially put a hold on the card so she couldn’t buy a plane ticket, but once he lifted the hold, she gave the $5,000 tip. Wolfe denied making the purchase. Then her boyfriend reported the charge to his credit card company as fraudulent, saying he believed she was drunk or trying to get back at him. Clear Sky Cafe, where the tip was given, was notified the purchase was fraudulent Monday, but they had already paid out their waitress for the amount of $5,000 for the tip and $55.37 for the food. Wolfe voluntarily handed over the card she used to deputies and was arrested for grand theft. It is unclear at this time whether or not the server will get to keep the money.
