A female patron ate lunch at a Lehigh County Denny's Restaurant before leaving a note indicating she didn't feel the food was prepared properly and refused to pay, Pennsylvania State Police said.

Accused is Kara Lynn Schleicher, 42, of Whitehall Township.

State police at Bethlehem said Schleicher shortly after noon May 1 dined at the eatery in Hanover Township.

Schleicher complained the food was prepared incorrectly, police said. Schleicher then allegedly left a note on the table, stating her server should inform the manager her meal would be "on the house."

Schleicher left the restaurant without paying and drove off, police said.

Schleicher is facing theft charges in the incident, state police said.
