Palm Springs dine-and-dasher arrested
Palm Springs restaurant owners can breathe a sigh of relief. Police announced on Tuesday that they have located and arrested a serial dine-and-dasher.
We first reported on this dine-and-dasher
last week. It was the same story for many restaurants in downtown Palm Springs. A man would enjoy his meal, then leave without paying.
According to the Palm Springs Police Department, this had going on since at least Feb. 1, 2021. This went on for over a month, but he was finally arrested on the afternoon of March 7.
