“A waiter at a Brooklyn IHOP sees himself as a folk hero, but his boss says he’s a thief.
“I am the modern-day Robin Hood,” said William Powell, 27, after prosecutors accused him of giving away $3,000-plus in soft drinks to customers over eight months.
They charged the self-styled Robin HOP with felony grand larceny and possession of stolen property.
"I am not stealing,” Powell told cops. “I am serving the ones in need. I take from the rich and give to the poor. What’s the big deal? I’ve been doing this since I started here.”
Powell told the Daily News on Wednesday his sugary magnanimity sprang from a desire to make patrons of the Livingston St., Fort Greene, restaurant merry men and women.”
