Applebee's worker charged with theft


BOARDMAN

A 45-year-old former Applebee’s restaurant employee will be back in court next month, facing a charge of felony theft.

Ronald A. Scurti, of Youngstown, is accused of using his credit card to make purchases at the South Avenue Applebee’s between August and October and giving himself “excessive tips,” police said.

Police said Scurti then disputed the charges with his credit card company, and an Applebee’s manager told police that the restaurant is being charged for the money, accusing Scurti of defrauding the restaurant by keeping the cash tips.

Scurti posted his $2,500 bond and did not enter a plea at his Tuesday arraignment, according to court records. A preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 27.
