A group of more than a dozen people who were dining at a popular Tennessee restaurant started smoking marijuana inside the establishment before leaving without paying the hefty bill, according to the police.
The situation unfolded on June 3 at Frida’s Mexican Restaurante in Memphis.
Surveillance footage shows the group of 16 people having a good time and eating lots of food.
Jessee Gonzalez, who was managing that night, said that the group was one of the last tables seated. They arrived at 10:30 p.m. The restaurant closes at 11 p.m.
The group ordered many drinks, including multiple $11 margaritas, and a number of the most expensive entrées.
Pretty soon, Gonzalez was forced to speak to one member of the group who had started smoking marijuana. The group was not happy.
After the chaos calmed down, the group started slipping away one by one. Eventually, everyone was gone. A bill of $420 was left unpaid.
Gonzalez said it’s the restaurant’s first “major walkout” and that he’s never seen anything like it.
Memphis police officers are searching for the group, utilizing the surveillance footage. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
