A Canadian woman who ate a meal and tried to skip out on the check by hiding out in the ceiling of the restaurant, saw her attempted dine and dash turn into a dine and crash.

Authorities say the woman gained access to the ceiling through the ladies’ restroom and tried to crawl out to avoid paying her check. The manager called police and just as officers arrived, the woman suddenly crashed through the ceiling and fell hard on the kitchen floor. 

Fortunately she was not hurt, but she was placed under arrest. However, the owner of the restaurant was extremely forgiving and opted not to press criminal charges because of her “life circumstances and struggles.” (Global News)
