Client leaves before paying for massage

After getting a therapeutic massage from a business in Birmingham, a client left the business without paying and was later found out to be a repeat offender. 

The owner of the business reported to Birmingham police that the evening of Friday, July 3, the client received the massage, said he needed to get money from his car to pay, then left the spa walking in the opposite direction. 

Although Birmingham police discovered that the man had given the owner a false name, they were able to figure out who he was and learned he had been arrested previously for similar incidents and had several active warrants for his arrest.

Police said an investigation is ongoing.

The name of local businesses are seldom provided by Birmingham police.
