Man gets 90 days in jail for faking heart attack upon recieving restaurant bill
Must be an expensive place!http://www.bizarrenews.com/
MACHIAS, Maine - Faking chest pains and pretending to have a
heart attack may not be the best ways to avoid paying the
bill at a restaurant. Elias I. Elias, 54, will most likely
realize this as he spends the next 90 days in jail. According
to authorities, Elias would order a meal, eat and enjoy, and
then fake his need for medical assistance when the check
arrived. He would be taken to a local hospital but usually
left before police arrived. District Attorney Paul Cavanaugh
said the most recent incident marked the 13th time that Elias
tried to skip paying the check. Elias´ court-appointed
attorney, Jeffrey Davidson, told the judge that the homeless
and unemployed man just wanted to eat a restaurant meal "like
anybody else."
