Woman Runs Down A Waitress With Her Car Because She Didn't Wanna Pay Her Lunch Tab

Nicole Raia, a 24-year-old Arizona woman, was jailed Tuesday after she allegedly ran down a waitress with her car after refusing to pay her lunch tab.

According to Peoria police, a waitress at International House of Pancakes ran to the parking lot after she realized that Raia and her lunch date had failed to pay their $26 check and had already exited the building.

Investigators say the waitress tapped on Raia's window and asked her to pay the check, however Raia refused to leave her car. When the waitress walked around to the back of the vehicle to get Raia's license plate number, Raia allegedly struck the waitress with her car before fleeing the scene.

Peoria police located Raia a short time later and took her into custody. During a subsequent search, officers recovered heroin from Raia's purse.

She was booked into jail and charged with suspicion of aggravated assault with a weapon, robbery and drug possession.
