World's former fattest man Paul Mason caught shoplifting in his mobility scooter, could face jail time
Mason, who had lost over 600 lbs. after meeting his former fiancee, has now 'gone into freefall' and could also be facing jail time for grand larceny in the US.
Paul Mason, the former 'World's Fattest Man', who managed to get his weight down from 70 stone (980 lbs.) to 19 stone (266 lbs) could face jail time for shoplifting goods worth $225 (£170) in his mobility scooter and driving off, The Sun reports. 57-year-old Mason has been living in the US but plans to return to the UK for free NHS treatment for his morbid obesity: which involves double knee replacement and fixing his herniated stapled stomach. According to the report, his friends fear he has “gone into freefall”, piling on "16 stone to 35 stone" of weight after splitting from the fiancée who turned his life around in the US.
