The 18-year-old Florida teen who, was arrested last month for allegedly impersonating a doctor has been arrested again, this time for reportedly using another person’s identity.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, Malachi Love-Robinson was taken into custody Tuesday and charged with one count of larceny and five counts of using another person’s identification without consent. On Wednesday, Judge Joseph Marx ordered that Love-Robinson undergo a mental health assessment and was issued supervised release.
Love-Robinson made national news on Feb. 16 when he was arrested for not only posing as a doctor but also having opened his own clinic in West Palm Beach. According to the Sun-Sentinel, Love-Robinson was taken into custody after a sting operation in which the teen reportedly gave a physical examination to an undercover officer.
Court records show that Love-Robinson latest arrest comes after he reportedly stole checks from Anita Morrison, 86, during several visits he made to her home as a doctor. The elderly woman said she found the teen doctor on the Internet.
Love-Robinson allegedly used checks stolen from Morrison to pay $29,700 towards a Nissan auto loans. And $3,000 to Citibank and almost $1,800 to Capital One towards credit card debt, the newspaper reports.
Love-Robinson’s attorney, Andrew Stine told the newspaper that his client was clear during the Feb. 16 examination with the undercover that he was not a medical doctor. He also called Love-Robinson’s latest arrests merely “accusations.” He said that his client has “entrepreneurial spirit” like that of Donald Trump.
“I think we lose sight of who he is,” Stine told the Sun-Sentinel. “He’s really just a child. I know he’s a grown man in the eyes of the law. … The point is he’s still a young man.”
