Bad acting job results in arrest for theft by deception
NEW JERSEY — A bad acting job captured on a surveillance camera has resulted in the arrest of a U.S. worker on one count of theft by deception, according to CNN.
Video footage appears to show Alexander Goldinsky, 57, in his company’s breakroom, looking around before throwing ice on the floor.
After standing over the ice momentarily, the worker appears to take a deliberate tumble and lands flat on his back.
Goldinsky went on to file a false insurance claim for the ambulance service and treatment he received at a local hospital for his injuries.
An independent contractor, Goldinsky was arrested a few months later.
“The investigation revealed that Goldinsky purposely threw ice on the floor in the cafeteria at his workplace, placed himself on the ground, and waited until he was discovered,” said a statement from the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office.
