A Florida woman faces a felony armed robbery charge for allegedly holding up a Dairy Queen at gunpoint — and making off with just $1.50.
Allison Fetting, 44, was already in jail when she was booked Friday for allegedly stealing a tip jar last year containing not even half the cost of one of the chain’s iconic Blizzard treats, Local 10 News reported.
She was accused of brandishing a black handgun to hold up a Dairy Queen in Coconut Creek, about 37 miles north of Miami, in February last year, according to cops.
When she failed to get the cashier to empty the register, she made off with the tip jar, with the paltry $1.50, authorities said.
No one was hurt in the robbery, police said. Fetting was first arrested on armed robbery charges a day after the robbery by Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office deputies.
She was finally booked for the Dairy Queen robbery on Friday while already in custody serving state prison time for multiple robbery and drug convictions, the outlet said.
She is now being moved to be held in Broward County Jail, according to the outlet.
While Fetting is accused of committing similar crimes in Palm Beach County, state records showed she has also served nearly three years of a four-year sentence for a conviction of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, battery on a law enforcement officer and grand theft stemming from a 2003 arrest.
She is set to be arraigned on Wednesday.
