A Minnesota fraud suspect who leaped from a fourth-floor balcony to avoid arrest Thursday morning has been captured, FBI Director Kash Patel announced.

“After today’s interagency press conference announcing 15 public healthcare fraud indictments in Minnesota, the below subject who was on the run – Muhammad Omar – has now been arrested,” Patel wrote on X, including a photo of the suspect hobbling while holding one shoe.

“He is charged with healthcare fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1349, 18 U.S.C. § 1347) involving a Housing Stabilization Services company – with fraudulent claims for services not provided and diverting the proceeds for personal benefit,” the FBI director added.

Omar and the other 14 suspects are accused of bilking taxpayers out of $90 million by defrauding Minnesota’s state-run Medicaid programs.

Prosecutors allege Omar filed false Medicaid claims while running a pair of home health care companies in the North Star State between 2022 and 2025. 

Omar made off with more than $3.6 million through the scheme, according to the indictment.  

He used $150,000 of the “fraudulently obtained” funds to invest in real estate in Nairobi, Kenya, and $60,000 to lease a Mercedes-Benz, feds allege.

Omar evaded federal agents hours before a press conference announcing the fraud arrests.

Surveillance footage from the scene showed Omar hopping on one foot and holding a shoe in his hand as he allegedly tried to get away from law enforcement. 

“My message to the fraudsters is this: Eat, drink, and be merry today because your days of frolicking and freedom are numbered,” Colin McDonald, the Trump administration’s so-called “fraud czar,” warned at the press conference. 

McDonald said Omar would face “additional charges for seeking to flee from law enforcement and seeking to obstruct justice by virtue of his conduct today.”
