New York PostA Minnesota man accused of healthcare fraud was arrested Thursday after leaping from a fourth-floor balcony to avoid capture, FBI Director Kash Patel announced. The arrest followed a morning press conference where federal officials announced 15 public healthcare fraud indictments in Minnesota. Patel posted on X that the suspect, Muhammad Omar, had been taken into custody.
Patel wrote that Omar was charged with healthcare fraud under federal statutes involving a Housing Stabilization Services company. The charges allege fraudulent claims for services not provided and diversion of proceeds for personal benefit. Omar and 14 other suspects are accused of defrauding Minnesota’s state-run Medicaid programs of $90 million.
Patel included a photo showing the suspect hobbling while holding one shoe.
