An IHOP cook in La Mesa, California, has been arrested for workers compensation fraud after surveillance footage found that he has actually injured himself “play wrestling” a co-worker and not engaged in his normal job duties, the California Department of Insurance reported Thursday.
Jonathan Quezada is facing multiple felony counts of insurance fraud for collecting over $22,000 in comp benefits after fracturing his clavicle, according to a statement.
He claimed that he slipped and fell while he was cleaning grill grates in the restaurant kitchen. Investigators later reviewed surveillance footage, which revealed that the story had been cooked up.
