MARTIN COUNTY — A pepperoni pizza and three vodka drinks cost about $30, but for a Jensen Beach woman the price was a trip to jail.

The case against Melissa Brown, 42, happened June 6 at Manatee Island Bar & Grill in Port Salerno, an arrest affidavit states.

A manager told Martin County sheriff’s deputies a woman declined to pay her bar tab.

Investigators say she ran into the men’s bathroom, then the women’s bathroom.

After she was there for about 10 minutes, a female deputy went in to ensure she was OK. The female deputy came out, as did the woman, identified as Brown.

Brown smelled of booze and “displayed a large wet spot on her pants” that deputies say smelled of a urination situation.

Meanwhile, Brown’s bill was $30.36, consisting of three Ketel One vodka drinks ($19.50), a pepperoni pizza ($9) plus tax ($1.86).

Told by a deputy that the restaurant wanted her to settle up her tab, Brown said she brought no money, which is commonly exchanged for goods and services.

She said she wasn’t stealing.

“I just don’t feel like I should have to pay for it, ya know,” an affidavit states.

Manatee Island Bar & Grill evidently disagreed.

Deputies arrested Brown on charges of defrauding an innkeeper and obstruction without violence.

Brown, of the 100 block of Pepper Lane in Jensen Beach, was taken to the Martin County Jail, where it seems unlikely that vodka drinks and pepperoni pizza are on the menu.
