46-year-old Gregory Middleton could not pay his tab at Kid Rock’s Bar in the early hours of April 26th. Officers were flagged down and advised of the situation. Upon arrival, officers spoke with the staff, who stated the patron, later identified as Middleton, had an outstanding tab of $201.18, and his card kept declining. Middleton told them he had another card in his wallet, which was in his vehicle, so officers escorted him there. Then, he said his name was “Patrick Garvis,” despite the credit card he tried using at the bar having the name “Paul E. Valente” on it. Officers also noticed his vehicle was registered to a “Gregory Middleton.” He could not find his wallet, so he entered the driver’s seat and started the car as if he were leaving. Officers talked him into getting out of the car and walked him back to the bar.

At the bar, Middleton stated he could pay using Apple Pay, but his phone was dead. The bar employees stated the business did not accept Apple Pay as a form of payment. Middleton could not cover his tab, could not order a way home, and was too intoxicated to drive or be alone, so officers detained him. As Middleton was detained, officers located 1.1 grams of marijuana in a yellow bag in his pocket. While trying to arrest him, he stiffened his arms and tried to push his body backward toward officers until they placed him into their patrol car. Then, Middleton refused to give officers his name or social security number, and they could not verify his identity with the names he provided. Middleton was taken into custody for theft of service, resisting arrest, and simple possession. Officers later discovered his name was Gregory Middleton.
