The "dine-and-dash dater" who allegedly stuck his dates with hefty dinner bills faces additional charges, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Friday. Paul Guadalupe Gonzales, 45, was hit with four new felony counts of extortion while one felony count of grand theft auto and one misdemeanor county of petty theft were dropped. In all, Gonzales now faces 11 felony counts of extortion, two felony counts of attempted extortion, two misdemeanor counts of defrauding an innkeeper by non-payment and one misdemeanor count of petty theft. Marjorie Moon said Gonzales told her he had to make a phone call, and eventually the waiter told her Gonzales left. With the new charges, Gonzales faces a maximum of 16 years and 10 months in county jail if convicted.
