39-year-old diner arrested after failing to pay $155 tab
Police arrested a 39-year-old Hawaii Kai man Tuesday night after he allegedly ate a steak and lobster dinner at Kobe Steak House in Waikíkí and was then unable to pay the $155 bill, which included several drinks.
The man was arrested about 8:40 p.m. on suspicion of third-degree theft. Because he had 10 prior convictions for the same offense during the past two years, he was also arrested on suspicion of habitual property crime, police said.
