Fake chest pains call
by
A Waukesha, Wisconsin man went to a local restaurant, ate and faked an illness, even having an ambulance summoned, in order to get out of paying his $39 bill, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
Robert Farnam, 52, was ordered held on $150 cash bail Thursday after being charged with issuing a worthless check, defrauding an innkeeper and two counts of bail jumping.
The complaint against him alleged he was at the Chancery Restaurant, 2100 E. Moreland Blvd., Wednesday night, where he ordered $39 worth of food and drinks and then complained of chest pain. But a restaurant employee heard Farnam say he did not have any means to pay for his meal while waiting for the ambulance to arrive, the complaint said.
