In his latest run in with the law, 18-year-old Malachi Love-Robinson allegedly defrauded a woman by charging nearly $3,500 for five house calls to treat stomach pains and forging checks from her bank account, according to NBC Miami.

According to the patient’s allegations, Mr. Love-Robinson called an ambulance to her residence and and advised her to leave her purse at home while she went to the hospital. Upon her return, she realized her bank account was emptied, according to the report.

Prior to these charges, Mr. Love-Robinson was held at Palm Beach County Jail in February for performing physical exams and giving medical advice to people at an illegal medical office in West Palm Beach, Fla. He was also caught at West Palm Beach-based St. Mary’s Medical Center in January 2015 after pretending to be a physician there for a month.
