BABYLON, N.Y. (AP) ? A man suspected of faking his own drowning at a beach in a scheme to collect on a life insurance policy was arrested Wednesday moments after being released from a hospital where he was receiving psychiatric treatment. Raymond Roth was taken to state park police headquarters on Long Island in handcuffs wearing a blue polo shirt and white pants. According to court documents, the pair conspired to get more than $50,000 in life insurance money. On Aug. 2, he was stopped going 90 mph in Santee, S.C. Police there saw that Roth was listed in a national registry of missing people. Roth said he was returning to New York, and the officer let him continue driving north; he never showed up for a planned meeting with police, and his attorney later revealed that he instead had been admitted to a hospital for depression.
