From Times Wire Reports
A short, heavyset man has been going around Punta Gorda, Fla., faking choking episodes, apparently to get attention from women, the sheriff’s office says.
He flails his arms, coughs and sputters. After a woman rushes over to help, he showers her with gratitude, hugs and kisses.
The sheriff’s office has gotten about half a dozen calls about the Choking Man, as a local newspaper dubbed him. So far he has not committed any crime.
