Schiff, Philip: Arrested in Normal, Illinois, in 1977 for impersonating Nigel to win sexual favors from teenage girls and scam free drinks. Screem magazine reported at the time: "Suspicions were aroused when the apocryphal Nigel repeatedly turned down requests to sing Tap favorites. Instead, he insisted on singing some songs of his own, which he called ‘new Tap compositions’ not yet recorded." The songs were suspiciously catchy and creative, which tipped bar patrons off to the ruse.
