An employee of an eastside restaurant reported that a DoorDash driver stole her tip money as she was preparing his food order.
The theft occurred on the evening of November 26 at the New Red Bowl restaurant on Barnett Shoals.
A 23- year-old Athens woman told police that after getting food that had been ordered by a DoorDash driver she realized that all of the money had been in her tip jar was gone.
When reviewing surveillance footage the employee saw Dennis take the money when she left him alone to get his order.
Dennis H. was the only information about the thief that was on the restaurant’s DoorDash page, and when a police officer contacted the company he was told a court order was needed for them to release the driver’s identity.
