WAUKESHA, Wisconsin: A 52-year-old Milwaukee-area man has been accused of faking heart attacks to avoid paying restaurant bills and cab fares.
Police say the Waukesha man took a cab to a mall on Monday and pretended to have a heart attack. The cab driver left unpaid.
Authorities say the man then ran up a $23 bill when he had a steak dinner at a restaurant. He again pretended to have a heart attack.
This time the fire department took him to a hospital. A doctor there recognised the man as having pulled the same stunt in the past few weeks.
He was charged on Thursday with defrauding a restaurant as a habitual criminal. He could get up to nine months in prison and a $10,000 fine.
