Waukesha 'Beat Down' Case Proves to be Fraud

WAUKESHA, WI — A 33-year-old man who sustained numerous injuries and claimed he was jumped by four people has turned out to be a fraud, Waukesha police say.

On Tuesday April 25, Waukesha police received a call from a parent stating their 33-year- old son was allegedly battered and robbed of cash by unknown persons.

Officers responded to the hospital to meet with the alleged victim. Officers met with Robert T. George who indicated that he was “jumped” by 4 males in their 20s. George said he was “beat down”.

These allegations were of great concern to the City of Waukesha Polic Department as incidents of criminal activity like this are extremely rare, specifically without provocation.

Officers and investigators spent a significant amount of time and resources conducting canvasses in the area and interviewing potential witnesses.

Investigators were able to follow the evidence which disproved the theory of the criminal activity reported by George.

Investigators confronted George with what the evidence showed. George eventually admitted that this was all a lie. George indicated that he did not want to disappoint his father as he was involved in a bike accident while intoxicated.

Authorities have placed an alert on the GoFundMe page and are working on freezing and/or refunding those assets.

Authorities are also advising dentists who offered services to George that this is a fraud, and will be recommending criminal charges to the District Attorney’s Office.
