A New York waitress has been accused to pocketing tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for reducing patrons’ bills.
Judith Mejia, a long-time waitress at Cosmic Diner in midtown Manhattan, has been accused by the restaurant owners of reducing customers’ tabs in exchange for cash, according to the New York Post.
Mejia believes the allegations against her were brought on as retaliation for complaints she and fellow workers made regarding discriminatory behavior by their employers.
According to the lawsuit, which was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week, Mejia, who is still working at the diner, is accused of reducing patrons’ tabs in exchange for cash.
The lawsuit state she “fraudulently and secretly reduced the amount of the check” and “demanded, received and retained…bribes and kickbacks [from customers].”
The owners claim Mejia cost them at least $75,000 during her time with the diner.

California ( News Anchor Facing Public-Intoxication Charges )
Published at 5:13 pm EST, July 31, 2013
A California news anchor is facing public-intoxication charges mere months after her disappearance sparked an extensive search.
On Monday, Paula Lopez of KEYT News was arrested near her home in Santa Barbara. She was charged with public -intoxication, taken into custody, and ultimately released with a citation to appear in court.
This weekend’s incident comes after Lopez’s disappearance on February 27. That day, Lopez’s family reported her missing, but shortly after, they reported to authorities that she had been found.
Neither her family nor authorities gave the reasoning for her disappearance, with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department simply stating, “We are not commenting on the reasons surrounding why Ms. Lopez went missing due to the fact it is a private family matter.”
She later claimed her disappearance was a result of neglecting medical issues including dehydration and pneumonia.
Lopez is the wife of Superior Court Judge Frank Ochoa, with whom she has three children. She is a co-anchor for the ABC affiliate’s 11 p.m. news. However, since the February incident, Lopez has not been anchoring the news as regularly.

The tourist, whose name and age were not released, jumped from a fifth-floor balcony of a hotel in the Catalonia region. He was attempting to jump into the pool below, but did not make it.
It is unclear if he slipped, did not jump far enough, or was injured once in the pool.
Investigators have not determined if drugs or alcohol were involved in the jump, which is just the latest in a series of accidents involving “ballooning.”
The jump reportedly occurred at around 1 a.m.
