The South Carolina woman said she didn’t have to pay because Jesus would.
April Lee Yates, 51, had been at Bennetts Calabash for almost four hours, according to the police report. Shortly after 9 p.m., the restaurant called law enforcement after Yates caused a disturbance involving other patrons, according to WBTW.
Management asked Yates to pay her $26 bill and leave, but she refused to do so. An officer asked her if she had money to pay, and Yates replied she did not.
Responding to the officer’s next question of what she planned to do with the bill, Yates insisted “Jesus” would pay.
Police arrested Yates on a charge of defrauding a restaurant and she was jailed.
