Petit theft. A local pizza joint pressed charges against a 35-year-old Ormond Beach woman who refused to pay for a pizza she ordered for delivery. The woman complained that the pizza was undercooked and that she should have gotten a free one, according to police. However, this happened during the second time the pizza delivery man arrived at her home for payment; She had told him initially that she paid by credit card over the phone.
The owner of the restaurant contacted police, and an officer arrived at her home to investigate the conflict. Though there was a car outside the home, the officer had to ring the doorbell four times and knock repeatedly to get someone's attention. The woman opened the door, and "was instantly angry" about how the officer was knocking "threateningly" at her door.
According to the police report, she continued to argue with the officer until bringing the pizza box to the door and asking him to hand it back for her. The officer told her the owner just wanted payment. The large pepperoni pizza cost $14.99.
"They can take me to small claims court," the woman said to the officer, who told her things "don't work that way." The woman then accused the officer of sleeping with the restaurant owner. She later threw the pizza box to the ground and was uncooperative with the officer as he tried to get her information. "You figure it out," she said.
