Father Jim helping out Lexington restaurant after dine-and-dash incident

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Spreading joy and generosity, a familiar face in the Commonwealth, made quite the impact recently.

Father Jim Sichko paid a visit to Mama Tequila in downtown Lexington, where dine-and-dashers left a $200 tab over the weekend.

“$500 back to Mama Tequila for the bad that happened to them which now has turned out good.”

Not only did Father Jim cover their bill with an extra $200, but he also surprised the waitress with an additional $100, bringing the total to $500 returned to the restaurant.

The people who left still remain unknown.

Lexington police say they are still investigating.

Anyone with information is asked to give them a call or submit an anonymous tip through Bluegrass Crime Stoppers.
