FERNDALE - A man accused of falsely claiming his wife was having a baby and hosting a fundraiser for the non-existent child's medical bills was ordered to undergo a psychiatric exam to determine if he is competent to stand trial. >>
Jorge Villegas, 47, of Detroit appeared for arraignment and a pretrial hearing Tuesday before Ferndale 43rd District Judge Joseph Longo, who ordered the psychiatric exam. He is charged with misdemeanor fraud after police say we was about to host a fundraiser at OEX Sunset in December 2016 and hoping to collect several hundred thousand dollars. >>
Police said Villegas got in touch with many kayak friends on BWE (Big Water’s Edge) and set up the false-baby scam months in advance. >>
"He had baby showers planned in the spring of 2017 to collect more gifts, but nobody ever confirmed Jorge’s story about the baby," said Ferndale Police Detective Brendan Moore. "He had an xray picture of a baby he called 'Jude' on his BWE page and put out fliers saying he was having a fundraiser because the baby was born with health problems and he had thousands of dollars in outstanding medical bills." >>

Villegas’ Villegas’ one friend, Jim Kelley, became suspicious in the months leading up to the fundraiser because he never saw proof of his wife being pregnant. >>
In November, one of Villegas’ friends (CBad Mike), donated $100 at the HOW fundraiser, contacted Ferndale police. >>
Police began an investigation and said Villegas came in for an interview a week later. >>
Villegas’'s next Ferndale court date will be scheduled after he completes a psychiatric examination sometime in the coming weeks. If convicted of the charge against him he faces up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. >>
