A woman was arrested after claiming that the stolen SUV she was driving was a birthday tip from a Waffle House customer, according to the Tulsa Police Department.
Authorities said Angela Harrison, 53, was arrested and was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle.
On April 1, just before 4 p.m., officers received an alert about a stolen white Jeep Liberty and tracked the stolen vehicle until they were able to stop it during a traffic stop.
Police said Harrison claimed she was at a gas station, just an hour before the stop, when she ran into a former customer of hers when she worked at the Waffle House.

Harrison told officers the customer gave her $10 cash and the white Jeep Liberty because her 53rd birthday was coming up in a few weeks.
However, police said the jeep was reported stolen before Christmas, and detectives had already obtained a surveillance photo of Harrison in the vehicle from January 14.
