Fraud charge over filling
PROSERPINE police have charged a man with fraud after he allegedly skipped out on his dentist bill.
It is alleged the 71-year-old Proserpine man had attended the dentist and received treatment for a filling.
He then left the clinic without making any attempt to pay or any arrangements for payment, a police spokesman said.
The clinic contacted Proserpine police, who located the man and spoke to him in relation to the incident.
As a result, the man was arrested and charged with fraud, the spokesman said.
He will appear in the Proserpine Magistrates Court on May 25.
