Man faked seizures to get free food; sentenced to five years in the slammer

Palmer, 47, was sentenced on Friday to five years in jail for charges stemming from an incident last October when he racked up at an $89 tab at a restaurant called Oliver Speck's, CBS Baltimore reports.

When it came time to pay the bill, Palmer faked a medical emergency.

Not very well, according to employee Cari Fisher.

"I thought it was fake from the very beginning," Fisher told the station. "He was giving me the finger while he was seizing."
