18-year-old Malachi Love-Robinson was arrested after posing as a medical doctor. He walked out of Palm Beach County Jail on Wednesday after posting bail, said the Sheriff's office. The teenager was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and was accused of practicing medicine without the requisite license. According to his website, he was at the top of his own practice.

Florida Department of Health along with Sheriff's narcotics units carried out an undercover visit to the office of Love-Robinson, as per the statement from Palm Beach County Sheriff's office. He examined the officer physically and also offered medical guidance. In a short conversation with CNN, Love-Robinson said that he will not give any interviews but will give a statement on Wednesday, outside his office. "I will have a legal representative there," he said without offering any further explanation, as reported by CNN News

This is not the first time that Love-Robinson has been apprehended by West Palm Beach police. He was detained for a short period after he was seen dressed as a doctor in St. Mary's Medical Center, wandering around, talking to patients. He even introduced himself as an anesthesiologist, however, the doctors at he hospital became suspicious because of his his youthful appearance and reported him, according to the reports by Sun Sentinel

As per the family members and former co-workers, they called up Florida Health Department and the local news station WPBF-TV, tipping them about Love-Robinson mimicking a doctor and ""may injure someone or their children."

"It's just jealousy," Love-Robinson told WPBF. "Any time anybody has something to say about somebody, it's because they're successful."

However, family members refute the claim made by Love-Robinson, saying that he has a history of such disturbing behaviors.

Love-Robinson, however, refuses the charge that he is impersonating a doctor. He also said that at St. Mary's hospital, he was shadowing the physicians. He added that he will continue his endeavor to become a doctor, says ABC Action News
