A Florida man accused of impersonating a doctor and stealing from a patient when he was a teenager has been sentenced to 3½ years in prison.
News outlets report that a Palm Beach County judge sentenced 20-year-old Malachi Love-Robinson on Thursday after he pleaded guilty to grand theft, practicing medicine without a license and other charges. His trial was scheduled to begin later this month.
Love-Robinson was arrested in February 2016 after law enforcement officials said he was practicing medicine without a license. Authorities say Love-Robinson was illegally operating a medical practice, complete with an office, a lab coat and stethoscope. He also allegedly stole $35,000 from an elderly patient.
Love-Robinson previously pleaded guilty to charges in Virginia related to trying to buy a Lexus using a fake earnings statement.
