Ol boy went to jail for stealing money 
Judge: ‘Mental health assessment’ needed for teen ‘doctor’ | www.palmbeachpost.com
Weeks after Malachi Love-Robinson made national headlines as “Dr. Love,” the teen whom authorities said posed as a medical doctor was back behind bars Wednesday.
Authorities say Love-Robinson allegedly stole nearly $35,000 from a patient to pay for his car loan and credit cards.

Love-Robinson, 18, was arrested Tuesday on five charges of fraud and one charge of grand theft — in addition to previous charges in two separate cases.
Judge Joseph Marx told Love-Robinson and his lawyer Wednesday morning that the 18-year-old would be released from jail on the condition that he seeks a mental health evaluation.
“I’m not concerned about your client not coming to court,” said Marx to Andrew Stein, Love-Robinson’s attorney. “(A mental health assessment) is exactly what I think is necessary here.”

According to his most recent arrest report, Love-Robinson used a patient’s bank information to make payments toward his auto loan and credit card debt.
The woman came to him seeking help with a stomach problem that she said medical doctors couldn’t diagnose. Love-Robinson claimed to be skilled in holistic medicine and a licensed Naturopathy Doctor, a license the state no longer issues.
In a separate case, the woman told police Love-Robinson stole several checks from her, for which he was charged grand theft and fraud in mid-February.

The sheriff’s office later learned that Love-Robinson used her bank information to make $34,504 worth in payments toward a loan for a Nissan and Citibank and Capital One credit cards, the arrest report says.
Love-Robinson was thrust into the spotlight and given national media attention — with appearances on Good Morning America and the Today show among others — after the state claimed he faked his medical licenses and posed as a doctor to patients.
He was first arrested Feb. 16 after an armed narcotics task force raided his alternative medicine practice, in a West Palm Beach medical building. They say he gave medical advice to an undercover officer.

Love-Robinson was released from jail on $21,000 bond following the arrest. He went on to speak with several media outlets, including The Palm Beach Post, and denied all wrongdoing.
“I never pretended to be a medical doctor,” Love-Robinson said in February, adding that he referred to himself as “Doctor” because of his Ph.D. “Every person I met knew that my practice was for holistic medicine.”
Love-Robinson’s Ph.D. was from Universal Life Church Seminary, an online institution, according to documents released by the Florida Department of Health.

According to the seminary’s website, anyone can buy a doctorate in divinity for $29.95, the same price as bachelor’s or a master’s of divinity degree.
Two additional degrees from Southwest College of Natural Medicine and Arizona State University that Love-Robinson presented to his former employer, New Directions in Boynton Beach, were also found to be fake, department investigators wrote in their report.
Love-Robinson claimed to have a naturopathy license in the state. Those licenses are no longer issued and haven’t been in years, a state official told The Post in mid-February.

This. Only thing I'm confused about...
I guess he got in trouble again lol. 
For about five hours Monday, the teenager accused of illegally posing as a doctor and stealing from a patient was back in Palm Beach County Jail following his arrest on new charges of grand theft and writing a bad check.
Courtroom deputies took Malachi Love-Robinson, 19, into custody, during a brief hearing regarding lawyer Leonard Feuer's request to cut ties with him for reasons involving an apparent ethical conflict that were not made public.
Jail records show Love-Robinson, who had been free on $18,000 bail, was released after another $8,000 in bail was posted.
The bad check allegedly was written for $1,500 as a down payment to West Palm Nissan on May 23, 2015, according to court documents released Monday. Details on the new grand theft charge, concerning an Oct. 13 offense, were not immediately available.

Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Krista Marx granted the defense attorney's request to get off the high-profile case and appoint the public defender's office to represent Love-Robinson on the new charges and the 12 existing felony counts.
Teenager accused of posing as doctor could rely on mental health defense; judge delays trial
Love-Robinson is expected to appear in court next for an Oct. 5 hearing with his new lawyer. For now, his trial remains set to start Nov. 7.
Feuer, who had been working on the case for free since his hiring in late June, told the Sun Sentinel that his removal "had nothing to do with money."
In a pleading filed last Tuesday, Feuer wrote that he called the Florida Bar Ethics Hotline, which advised he had no option other than halting his representation of Love-Robinson.
Feuer indicated the issue came about through no fault of his own, and it became clear that there was an "incompatibility" with continuing to represent Love-Robinson and complying with the state's Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys.
Trial delayed for teen accused of posing as doctor
Feuer also noted that going public with the details may give prosecutors an advantage.
Two weeks ago, the attorney won a delay in the scheduling of Love-Robinson's trial, as a possible insanity defense was being explored.
Love-Robinson, who's accused of donning a white lab coat and stethoscope and portraying himself as a doctor in a West Palm Beach clinic and on house calls, was ordered by a judge in March to undergo a mental health examination. He has been obtaining treatments since then.
Feuer asked for, and received, the judge's approval to use $1,563 in public funds to obtain 1,563 pages of treatment records from St. Mary's Medical Center. Love-Robinson asked for permission for taxpayers to bear the expense of various court costs after swearing he doesn't have money.
Love-Robinson was arrested Feb. 16 and again on March 1 and charged with: two counts of practicing medicine without a license; two counts of practice of naturopathy without a license; three counts of forgery; two counts of grand theft from a person 65 or older; and three counts of fraudulent use of personal identification information.
These charges are punishable by up to 70 years in prison. The new charges are grand theft over $20,000, and obtaining property in return for a worthless check, draft or debit card — together punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
In July 2015, Love-Robinson was sued in Palm Beach County Civil Court over a $1,800 bounced check that was allegedly used as a down payment on a 2016 Mazda 6 sedan priced at $27,070, according to court records.
"I am appealing to you as a human being that made a mistake," Love-Robinson later wrote in a response to the lawsuit, which he lost in April, records show.
Love-Robinson was first accused of pretending to be a doctor in January 2015. Then 17, he peeked in on at least one gynecological exam at St. Mary's Medical Center, according to a West Palm Beach police report.
Records show that last October he opened a clinic in Boynton Beach but closed it after he was issued a cease-and-desist order that same month from the Florida of Department of Health because he didn't have a medical license.
In an Oct. 14 meeting with state investigators, Love-Robinson said a college transcript and diploma from the Southwest College of Natural Medicine and a diploma from Arizona State University that he had presented at the clinic were fraudulent, according to records.
Love-Robinson said he had a degree from an online Christian school, and advised that medical doctors on staff would be consulted if a client needed a medication change, according to a report of the interview.
Yet the state investigators determined that Love-Robinson's role at the clinic went too far, saying that for nearly a month he was "leading the public to believe [he] was a licensed medical doctor, without holding an active license," the report said.
Later, investigators got a tip that Love-Robinson was again practicing medicine without a license from an office called The New Birth New Life Medical Center, at 4700 N. Congress Ave. in West Palm Beach, according to an arrest report.
Love-Robinson was presenting himself as a licensed physician and had employees, but no one there was licensed to diagnose and treat patients, the report said. He was arrested in February after allegedly conducting a physical examination of a female undercover officer, who came to his office complaining of feeling sick.
Love-Robinson allegedly told the officer that he was a "doctor of homeopathic medicine" and a health care practitioner specializing in all-natural treatments. He also said he had an "MD" on staff to prescribe antibiotics for other physical ailments, the arrest report said.
Among the second set of charges, Love-Robinson was accused of stealing personal checks from Anita Morrison, an 86-year-old West Palm Beach woman he visited at her home several times concerning severe intestinal pain.
Officials say Love-Robinson tapped Morrison's checking account to make $34,504 in payments for his Nissan car loans and credit cards. He's also accused of forging three checks totaling $2,794.
Because of Morrison's "deteriorating" condition, her testimony has been preserved on video in case she is not well enough to take the witness stand.
