Waffle House waitress claims stolen car was an early birthday gift from a regular at the restaurant.

A waffle house waitress in Oklahoma is now facing theft charges after driving away in a vehicle that she told police was a gift, according to a report. 

Angela Harrison, 53, was arrested after alleging that the stolen SUV she was driving was a birthday tip from a Waffle House customer.

On April 1, at approximately 4 p.m., officers were notified of a stolen white Jeep Liberty and tracked the vehicle until they managed to pull it over during a traffic stop.

Harris was arrested and charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, according to Fox News.

Harrison told police she was at a gas station when she ran into a former customer of hers when she worked at the Waffle House.

She went on to say the customer also gave her $10 along with the white Jeep Liberty because her 53rd birthday was nearing in a few weeks.

Police obtained a surveillance photo of Harrison in the vehicle on January 14 and claim the Jeep had been reported stolen before Christmas.

The 53-year-old-to-be admitted that she was the woman in the photo but could not explain how she came into possession of the vehicle in January when she said it was gifted to her only an hour before.
