Wyoming eatery owner posts alleged dine-and-dash family's photos after unpaid $130 bill

Zoey Aldahash, proprietor of Sweet Zoey Mediterranean in Casper, Wyoming, posted a photo on Facebook that she says depicts a mother, father, and two teenagers who consumed a large meal and then fled without paying a $130 bill. Aldahash explained that she had previously called police over a similar incident in 2024, but received no help, prompting her to skip involving law enforcement this time. The online post sparked mixed reactions: many locals applauded the exposure, whereas some criticized the tactic as potentially harmful, especially given the presence of juveniles.

Rebekah Ladd of the Casper Police Department cautioned that publicly sharing images can cause unfounded accusations and harassment. The alleged diners have not been apprehended, leaving the restaurant owner frustrated but grateful for supportive patrons.
