A 22-year-old Alan Golden of Las Cruces, New Mexico ate dinner at Applebee's with two women.  Their check was less than $30.  Which apparently was too rich for Alan's blood.  So he decided to DINE-AND-DASH.

--There was just one SMALL thing he didn't realize.

--His waiter that night was a cop.  The waiter handling the next table over was a cop.  The hosts in the front were also cops.

--It's because Applebee's was hosting a POLICE FUNDRAISER that night called Tip-A-Cop . . . so ALL of the employees were cops raising money for New Mexico's Special Olympians.

--When Alan dined-and-dashed, he was immediately SWARMED by cops working there and arrested.  He's facing a charge of obtaining services less than $100.
