Malachi Love-Robinson, the Florida teenager arrested earlier this year on charges of impersonating a physician and operating an unlicensed medical office, now faces new charges of grand theft and fraud. The charges stem from accusations he wrote a bad check worth $1,500 as a down payment for a car.
Love-Robinson was arrested in February after officials received a tip that he was practicing medicine without a license. He allegedly claimed to be a “doctor of homeopathic medicine” and performed an exam on an undercover officer.
Love-Robinson was previously caught impersonating a physician in January 2015 at St. Mary’s Medical Center, in West Palm Beach, where he had been seen roaming the halls in a white lab coat and sat in on at least one gynecology exam.
