A British man has been arrested after ordering the most expensive food and wine at some of Washington DC’s most fanciest hotels – then walking out without paying the bill.

Nick Cooper, 21, was caught after going on a month spree of the US capital’s most luxurious dinner spots.

According to police documents, he reportedly ordered a $1,200 (£850) glass of 34-year-old Teeling Irish single malt whiskey, which is normally kept under combination lock in a vault,

The 21-year-old has already been arrested six times in the last month, the first time by the Secret Service near the White House on March 9 for refusing to move on a street while he was drunk.




He was then arrested again for failing to obey police after he tried to escape from then.

On March 13, he stopped by the renowned Willard Intercontinental hotel and allegedly spent $68.20 (£50) at the bar using a fake name.

He was arrested later that week for damaging a glass door at the Embassy Row Hotel and for trying to resist officers.

A few days later, he was arrested for theft and resisting arrest after dining at the Ritz-Carlton.

Cooper reportedly used a fake name again to order grilled octopus and rack of lamb, as well as a $156 (£110) bottle of cabernet sauvignon and a $100 (£70) bottle of Moet Imperial.

While at the Hay-Adams hotel, opposite the White House, fellow drinkers reported seeing him brag about a $1,200 (£850) shot of whiskey he was drinking, and a three-week birthday trip he took to Las Vegas in February.

High-end bars have now been circulating Cooper’s picture, warning their staff not to serve him if they see him.

People who claim to have met the young man say he told them he was from Kensington in London when he is actually from Birkenhead, Merseyside.

Earlier this week he was arrested for contempt of court on suspicion of ignoring a judge’s orders to stay away from the White House.
