A man at a gas station tried to pull...fraud? I don’t know, something...by claiming a Tesla backed into him while he was standing there. As USA Today , it didn’t end well for him.

Arthur Bates Jr., the 47-year-old man in question, was in the gas station’s parking lot where the “incident” occurred. In video footage from the Tesla released by local authorities, Bates can be seen behind the vehicle.

Police managed to find the driver of the car who explained that they witnessed Bates intentionally getting behind the vehicle. With the footage from the vehicle backing the driver up, Bates fessed up that everything was faked and has been charged with “false swearing with intent to cause an emergency response.”
