Man arrested after refusing to pay bill

Police arrested a man after he reportedly refused to pay his bill at a nightclub in Garapan Sunday night.

According to a police report, the suspect, whose name was not disclosed, was arrested for theft of service after refusing to pay over $300 at the Russian Roulette.

The police department had sent an officer to the site after receiving a call from the establishment complaining about the non-paying customer. Upon arriving at the scene, a security guard of the nightclub pointed out the suspect to the officer. The man, who was already outside the club, was escorted back inside.

The officer then interviewed Nadejda Zybina, the manager of the club, who explained the incident.

The report showed that, when asked if the allegation was true, the suspect acknowledged it. “From there, I asked the suspect if what Ms. Zybina just said was true and he said, ‘Yes, I walked out because I am not going to pay for that bill,’” the officer said in his report.

Preliminary investigation indicated that the suspect entered the premises at about 7:50pm and ordered a beer. It disclosed that the waitress who served him, 22-year-old Evgeniya Ostrovskaya, offered to sit with him for company, and the suspect agreed.

“She then informed him that it will cost him $10 every 15 minutes just for sitting with him and the suspect agreed,” the report stated. “She then added that the suspect continued to order more alcoholic beverages.”

The report indicated that the manager of the establishment had also approached the suspect at about 9:30pm and had also offered to accompany him—for the same price—and the suspect agreed.

“Next, she said the suspect bought her two lady’s drinks,” it stated.

During an interview, Zybina told the responding officer that the cost of the drinks, the company of another hostess, and herself amounted to $345.

The suspect was arrested and taken to the Adult Correctional Facility where he was detained.

The suspect reportedly threatened the officer while being arrested.

“He began to threaten me by saying that I was in big trouble because he works for Chief Justice Manglona,” the officer said.

The report noted that the officer attempted to get the suspect’s bio data but was unable to do so as the suspect was “uncooperative due to his intoxication.”
