Teen spree

A teenager who posed as a wealthy playboy and went on a spending spree at a Japanese area nightclub has been arrested after trying to skip out on his bill.

Authorities say that over the course of six hours Wednesday night the 16 year old boy ordered two bottles of Dom Perignon champagne as well as 60 glasses of whiskey, beer and cocktails.

Police say when it was time to pay the bill, which had ballooned to $3,490, the boy told the staff he had no money.

A police spokesman says staff at the club were shocked to learn the boy's age because he seemed mature and experienced when ordering drinks and talking with hostesses.

The spokesman says the teen was dressed in casual clothes, but obviously successfully gave staff the impression of a rich young man.

Alcohol consumption is prohibited for those under 20 in Japan.
