A Flight Risk
Palm Beach, FL
On Sunday, June 10, a patron walked out of the Sailfish Marina Restaurant without paying his liquor and food bill in the amount of $34.88. Police caught up with the suspect, who was intoxicated, incoherent and having difficulty standing up, with the manager at the valet service area.
When asked to pay the bill, the man in his early 40’s, stated he was angry because a pickpocket took his money clip containing $400, credit cards, driver’s license and his FAA Commercial Pilot’s License while at the restaurant. The suspect then took the officers to a nearby condo where he obtained a credit card to pay for the meal.

Considering that at a Palm Beach marina restaurant $35 will get you 2 beers and a shrimp cocktail, this guy seems a bit too much of a lightweight to be an airline pilot.

Well first of all, the bar/restaurant isn’t suppose to serve you so much alcohol that you can barely stand, and his waiter probably pick pocketed him anyways.
