Malachi Love-Robinson, better known now simply as Dr. Love, is once again back behind bars after the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says he posed as a doctor with fake degrees.
Love-Robinson, 18, was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail late Tuesday on five counts of fraud and one grand theft charge. It’s unclear yet whether these charges are related to Love-Robinson’s West Palm Beach holistic medical practice, which is now closed.
He is being held without bail at the county jail and is expected to appear in court this morning.
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 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 bond following the arrest. He went on to speak with several media outlets including The Palm Beach Post, and denied all wrongdoing.
The sheriff’s office also accused Love-Robinson of stealing checks from a patient who sought help with a stomach problem that a medical doctor couldn’t diagnose.
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.
Before Malachi Love-Robinson was arrested for practicing without a license, he handed a bad check to a Delray Beach car dealer, according to a civil lawsuit filed last year.
