Hialeah Couple Run Up $10,000 Tab at Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach

A Hialeah couple spent a luxurious night at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, using fake names and a stolen credit card to rack up more than $10,000 in charges, authorities said.
 
The Palm Beach Post reports 25-year-old Javier Roura and 28-year-old Joanna Sanchez arrived at the hotel without reservations or luggage on July 3. They said they were tired from traveling so the clerk expedited the check-in process, obtaining a minimal amount of personal information.
 
Palm Beach police say the couple, who identified themselves as Mr. and Mrs. Sebastian Spinel, ordered room service, an $800 bottle of whiskey and charged some $8,000 in the hotel's boutique on clothing and other accessories. They tried to order two more bottles of the expensive liquor but they were never delivered.

The bill for their one-night stay came to $10,353.
 
Police tracked them to Hialeah, where they were arrested Wednesday on multiple charges including forgery, fraud and larceny. They were later released on bail. Jail records didn't indicate whether they've hired an attorney.
