Malachi Love-Robinson was arrested Friday and charged with identity theft and other fraud offenses after he attempted to purchase a Jaguar at a vehicle dealership, Stafford County Sheriff’s officials say.
Police said he brought a disabled, elderly woman who claimed to be his mother, to a auto dealership to buy a Lexus.
Love-Robinson was busted again this time in Virginia. A further search also showed recently submitted loan applications in her name and two iPad and cellphone purchases totaling $1,200.
According to the Stafford County (Va.) Clerk’s Office, Love-Robinson withdrew his bond motion Wednesday morning.
Update 12:30 p.m.: Malachi Love-Robinson will remain without bail at the Rappahannock Regional Jail in Virginia until his next court date November 18, according to Stafford General District Court records.
“His Florida bond has been revoked and based on my experience there’s virtually no chance that Virginia would grant him a bond under those are circumstances”, Marzloff said. Marzloff said it was unlikely Love-Robinson would be extradited to Florida until his Virginia case was resolved.
Love-Robinson was arrested Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016, after he performed an exam on an undercover agent and gave medical advice. He told her she suffered from arthritis and sold her vitamins, charging her $3,494 that she paid by check.
He has denied the charges. He claims to have a doctorate from the Universal Life Church, which sells them online for $29.95.
