The man who cried ‘heart attack’

Posted by on 07/05 at 02:18 PM

A 52-year-old Minnesotan has been charged with defrauding a restaurant as a habitual criminal after he faked heart attacks to get out of paying bills on at least two occasions.

From the Associated Press:

Police say the Waukesha man took a cab to a mall Monday and pretended to have a heart attack. The cabdriver left unpaid.

Authorities say the man then ran up a $23 bill when he had a steak dinner at Applebee’s. He again pretended to have a heart attack.

This time the fire department took him to a hospital. A doctor there recognized the man as having pulled the same stunt in the past few weeks.

The man could get up to nine months in prison and a $10,000 fine.

And let’s hope his cardiovascular system is in good shape.
