It seems like Malachi Love-Robinson just can't help himself. The Florida teenager who was arrested back in February for posing as a doctor was arrested again Friday on whole new charges, Fox 5 reports. The 19-year-old Floridian reportedly attempted to purchase a Jaguar in Virginia. He approached a local dealer with an elderly female companion, who he claimed was his mother, and filled out a credit application with her listed as the co-signer.
Something about the whole thing seemed fishy to the salesmen. They looked him Love-Robinson online and discovered his prior arrest for posing as a medical professional and grew concerned that he was attempting to steal from his alleged co-signer. So they called the authorities, told him he was approved, and contacted local police who waited at the dealership for Love-Robinson to arrive, at which point he was taken into custody.
After speaking with the elderly woman that Love-Robinson had alleged was his mother, she told police that she never intended on co-signing for the Jaguar and had not given him her permission to allow the dealership access to her information. A call to her credit company revealed that someone had recently spent something around $1,200 dollars on two iPads and a smart phone—purchases that she claims she knew nothing about.
Love-Robinson made national headlines about half a year ago when he was arrested for practicing medicine and providing medical care unlicensed. The crazy thing is, that incident wasn't the first time that he'd pulled that scam. In January of 2014, Love-Robinson was also accused of posing as a doctor at St. Mary's Medical Center. He was only 17 years-old at the time. "I requested to shadow physicians," Love-Robinson told reporters of that incident, insisting he wasn't pretending to be a medical professional. "Next thing I know, cops are there. That’s all I know."
