UNION, SC-- A Union man--busted--after he's caught on tape staging a fall, inside a grocery store.
Police say it happened at the "Fresh Air Galaxy" market in Union.
In the video, Michael Rhineheart walks the juice isle with a bottle of Ocean Spray.
He walks over to the "wet floor" sign--spills some of the juice on the floor. He then goes back around--approaches the puddle--and falls to the floor.
Rhineheart was rushed to the hospital and police say he was quick to demand thousands from the store for his injuries.
What he didn't know was cameras were recording everything.
The incident has shoppers at the store buzzing.

Rhineheart is facing multiple charges including shoplifting and obtaining goods by false pretense. He is still locked up in the Union County Jail.
