| Waitress Gets Own ID When Carding Patron |
| 2006-08-01 |
| A bar waitress checking to see if a woman was legally old enough to drink was handed her own stolen driver's license, which was reported missing weeks earlier, police said. "The odds of this waitress recovering her own license defy calculation," police Capt. Guy Turner said Monday. Maria Bergan, 23, of Lakewood, was charged Sunday night with identity theft and receiving stolen property. She was arrested at her home in suburban Cleveland and was jailed in Westlake to await a court appearance. The 22-year-old waitress, whose name was not released, called police last week and said she had been handed her own stolen driver's license by a woman trying to prove she was 21. The woman, who became suspicious of the delay as the waitress went to call police, fled the Moosehead Saloon, but her companion provided her name. The waitress said she had lost her wallet July 9 at a bar in Lakewood. The victim also had a credit card stolen. The stolen card has been used to make $1,000 in purchases, Turner said. |

| #3 Similar thing happened to my daughter a few weeks ago. A girl at the bar used her stolen ID to try to by booze. The bartender kept the ID and called the police. The girl was under age and didn not look like my daughter. Stranger than fiction. |

| #2 I hope she got her beer first, geez. Were not getting the important part of the sequence here - darn MSM! Women files lawsuit for being refused drink in local bar, cites profiling. Evil George Bush daughters cited in lawsuit. |
