An Uber Eats driver was arrested in Polk County, Fla., after authorities allege she ate food from an order and then stole holiday decorations from a customer’s yard. Then, say police, she spat in the customer’s face after being confronted.

The customer told police she then went outside her Davenport, Fla., home and noticed Aguilar holding her “Happy Fall Y’all” yard sign, according to the arrest affidavit. Police say the customer also noticed other holiday decorations, including a column of pumpkins, had been moved and were now sitting near Aguilar’s vehicle.

When the customer approached Aguilar and wrestled the sign out of her hands, the Uber Eats driver then allegedly spat in the woman’s face after they got into an argument. Aguilar then shoved the stolen items into the car, and drove off, according to the arrest affidavit.

The alleged victim claimed the four stolen decorative pumpkins were worth about $75 each, according to police, who claimed Aguilar stole about $330 worth of decorations in total from the Davenport home.

“This behavior is shocking and unacceptable," a spokesperson for Uber told PEOPLE. “We removed the courier’s access to the Uber platform and are supporting law enforcement with their investigation.”
