PANAMA CITY, FL — Jacob Tanner, 31, was detained Saturday morning after allegedly trying to pay his $42 Waffle House bill with a live goat named "Barbara." According to the police report, Tanner sat at the counter, ordered an All-Star Special with extra hash browns, and when the check arrived presented the goat by her collar and said she was "good for it." Responding officers say they found: - A live goat named Barbara, wearing a pink heart-shaped name tag - A handwritten "ownership transfer letter" signed only with Tanner's initials - A printed appraisal Tanner had made himself valuing Barbara at $58 - A second smaller goat in his truck "in case Barbara wasn't enough" - A receipt where the tip line had been replaced with the word "BARBARA" The waitress told police Tanner had insisted Barbara "ate less than a regular customer and tipped better." "He informed us the goat was 'fully vetted, mostly,'" said Bay County Deputy Travis Mead. "He asked whether the manager would consider a partial trade for just the waffles." Barbara was logged into evidence and declined to comment. Tanner was charged with theft of services and released that afternoon. He reportedly asked deputies whether Barbara "could at least be told the meal was appreciated." He walked in hungry and walked out lighter one goat. The bill stayed unpaid. Barbara stayed unbothered.
