A pizza deliverer in central Florida has been charged with pushing her way into a motel room with an accomplice and stabbing a pregnant woman after a dispute over a tip, authorities said.
A woman allegedly stabbed one person multiple times in Kissimmee over a bad tip for pizza delivery, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
The victim had ordered pizza from a local restaurant on Dec. 22, authorities said.
The woman gave Alvelo $50 on a $33.10 bill, expecting change back. When Alvelo started walking away, the woman asked for money back, and the pizza deliverer told her they didn't make change as a policy, according to an arrest report.

The woman began searching for smaller denominations in two purses in her motel room and in her car, with Alvelo watching. She got a smaller dollar bill from her boyfriend, with whom she was staying at the hotel along with her 5-year-old daughter, and Alvelo's tip ended up being $2, the report said.
The suspect, 22-year-old Brianna Alvelo, allegedly “became upset about the amount of tip she received” and later returned to the victim’s room at Riviera Motel, located at 2248 E Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway.
That’s when she and a man with a gun allegedly forced their way into the room, and Alvelo stabbed one of the victims multiple times.
