And while Gary truly did have difficulty walking, which is why being in a wheelchair was not fake, he would go on to admit, “People give people in wheelchairs money that are handicapped. I’ll just not act retarded anymore and get their money and I’ll be normal. I am normal, it just helps to be mentally handicapped.”

Gary was supposedly arrested over 9 times in Lexington, but he would eventually plead guilty to ‘two counts of theft by deception.’ It was those that he had deceived that had brought his case to the police, allowing them to charge him despite Kentucky not having any ordinances against begging.
