The information in this report was provided by the Solon Police Department. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.
A Solon man pulled up to the bar at Crossroads Restaurant and Lounge on Aurora Road and tipped back a few, to the tune of a bar tab of $83.80.
He passed the bartender three different credit cards, to no avail. When all of them were declined, he got up and walked out of the bar, telling the tender on the way to: "Tell it my lawyer in the morning."
Instead, the bartender told Solon Police, that night.
