TRIBECA — A young Queens man's spending-spree at a swank TriBeCa hotel was quashed when a hotel employee realized his credit card was fake, police said.
The 21-year-old tried to charge $1,580 in drinks, food and other services on a forged card at the Roxy Hotel, at 2 Avenue of the Americas, just after midnight on Nov. 19, police said.
According to his criminal complaint, Clase Santiago was also carrying four additional forged credit cards in his wallet — cards police say he admitted were fake.
Santiago was charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree.
Santiago's Legal Aid lawyer did not immediately return a request for comment.
