MUSKEGON (AP) — A man who ran a popular restaurant in western Michigan while telling the government he couldn’t work because of a bad back has pleaded guilty to disability fraud.
Pablo Fierro, 66, was in federal court Monday.
Social Security investigators became suspicious after Fierro was featured in a Muskegon Chronicle story in 2008 about his restaurant, Pablo’s Tacos. He was quoted as saying he worked long hours nearly seven days a week.
At that time, he had been receiving disability benefits for 12 years.
Fierro fled to Mexico in 2012 but returned to Michigan and was arrested.
