A Colorado man is out of the Brazos County jail following his arrest for not paying Baylor Scott & White hospital after undergoing an upper endoscopy.

College Station police responded to a fraud call Saturday night (November 29), where hospital staff reported the man used the social security number of a woman who was already in the hospital system and who had died in 2021.

The CSPD arrest report says the 49 year old told officers he did not have insurance and he did not want to be billed for the nearly $8,500 dollar procedure.

But Peter Donohue of Colorado Springs had enough money to post $30,000 dollars in bonds to be released from jail.

The CSPD arrest report says hospital staff told officers the man’s name appeared in more than 20 different accounts using 15 different social security numbers.

Donohue was charged with felony theft of services, identity theft, giving a fake date of birth, and a warrant on a fraud charge from the University of Texas police department.
