A pizza delivery girl has been accused of breaking into a motel room with an accomplice and stabbing a pregnant woman in front of her five-year-old daughter following a dispute over a poor tip.
Brianna Alvelo, 22, was accused of stabbing the woman in her motel room in Kissimmee, Florida, shortly after delivering her a pizza on Sunday, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman gave Alvelo $50 in a $33.10 bill, expecting to receive $16.90 in change.
When Alvelo began to walk away, the woman asked for her money back, but the pizza delivery man told her they did not carry change as a company policy, according to an arrest report.
The woman began searching for smaller denomination bills in two wallets in her motel room and in her car, while Alvelo watched.
She received a smaller dollar bill from her boyfriend, with whom she was staying at the motel along with her five-year-old daughter.
That meant Alvelo’s tip ended up being $2. Alvelo ‘rolled his eyes and walked away without saying anything,’ according to report seen by WESH saying.
A short time later, the woman, her boyfriend and her daughter were asleep when they heard a knock on the door of the Riviera Motel.
