Perseus i wanted to ask him, you know, come on, come clean. Is this true . Teri perseus wells says he thought loverobinsons claims of being a naturopathic doctor were legitimate. And his diplomas from colleges he claims he attended were real. Until i showed up several weeks ago, asking questions. Perseus i didnt have doubts. I had doubts, when you first did the interview with us. Teri wells says loverobinson assured him he was a real naturopathic doctor, with a phd and he says the teen even got approved for medicaid. Perseus in order to take medicaid and all of these insurances, you have to show proof. And the proofs have a doc number. And the doc number had to be valid. How did he get a doc number . How did he get this stuff . Teri tuesday, an undercover female deputy came in, posing as a patient. And she says loverobinson took her blood pressure, put a stethoscope under her shirt, and told her to take allergy medicine. Listening in on a wire, deputies moved in for the arrest. Perseus they came in with masks on and whatever. And they were just like, put your hands on the table. Teri wells says he couldnt sleep for two days. And he is especially bothered by charges against love robinson that he stole 3,000 from an 86yearold patient. Perseus the fact that he is saying he robbed that old lady, thats whats bothering me. You know, i couldnt think he would do that. I really couldnt. Teri but for now, hes clinging to a thin hope that his partner is somehow telling the truth. Perseus i dont know whether if he is lying, the government needs to hire him. Because hes good, if hes lying. Laura and that was teri parker reporting. And even more bizarre . The Palm Beach County department of health had previously investigated and cited the teen in october, for the same scam. Todd let us check back with jason to find out if tomorrow could be kind of perfect . Jason nice, no 50s or 60s like we saw today. Still want to be beautiful out there promising quite a bit of sunshine today. Starting to watch those clouds move in from the west. Those will stick around tomorrow, too. A to say the sunshine is going away, we could see some throughout the day. But that is what we will see. The wind lightened yesterday, cruising upwards of 40 Miles Per Hour. Right now, 510 Miles Per Hour out of the north, trying to drag not enough to spoil an otherwise perfect day. 46 now, wind chill at 40 degrees that light wind. Average high sits at 38. Mild air is going to be with us for a few days, and you can see we barely just bump underneath that for the morning hours. Clouds do build in the morning hours, stirring to break up a bit in the afternoon. A chance there could be some chance of afternoon sunshine, and a high of 46, mild air truly sticking around for a while. You can see the wild expanse that will make its way on in. Not looking at much by way of rain or snow with this, mainly a few flakes in the Early Morning hours. Or a few raindrops. Other than that, besides that slightly soggy start, going to be a beautiful day. It is going to succeed throughout the end of the weekend, and you can see it really s srting to dry out and a beautiful look to the start of the work week. Futurecast pushing in cloud cover the Early Morning hours. You see the light rainsnow mixture. I do think there is a chance we could see that in the metro. But that pushes eastward and dries out later in the afternoon, morning. But the clouds do linger. Again, could see some sunshine. Not enough to run wild outside, like we have had. But that is still looking pretty darn nice. 32 degrees, overnight low, look across the state temperatures only in the upper 20s to the 30s, across the entire state. The morrow, back to where we were today 46 degrees. 51 in lamoni. 51 down in council bluffs. Looking at the middle of the week, looking pretty good. Chance for precipitation on tuesday.
