Wis. man accused of faking heart attacks to avoid bills

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin (AP) — 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 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 recognized the man as having pulled the same stunt in the past few weeks.

He was charged Thursday with defrauding a restaurant as a habitual criminal. He could get up to nine months in prison and a $10,000 fine.

He saved $23 on a steak, but ran up a bill on tax payers by having the fire department take him to the hospital. They should add that to the $10,000 fine.

At any moment Harlan should be here - arguing for our latest victim/perpetrator.


Harlan Huckleby's thoughts on the matter, as interpreted by Scott Campbell:

"What if they were gas pains. Very real, very intense, gas pains. Would you shoot teenagers stealing beer? Would you kill babies? Because that's exactly where all of this is leading. For the love of humanity, we must set this poor man free. That rich cab driver doesn't need that money. He's the same as the OJ jury. Those rich restaurant owners can certainly afford to comp this poor guy a meal. Once you people evolve to my heightened sense of morality, you will all see the error of your ways and flock back to my herd. In the meantime, lets not rush to judge this poor gas tortured soul."

Harlen is far from the biggest innocent perpetrator school on this forum, at least he has limited it reasonable stances.

Don't get me wrong, I disagree with him....if I saw a dude faking a heart attack to avoid a bill........BANG!!!
