HS honors student actually 23 year old Ukrainian | The Compost Bin | Forums

how the heck do people get away with this?

A Pennsylvania high school honors student just months from graduation was actually a 23-year-old Ukrainian national using a false identity after his visa expired, police said Thursday.

Artur Samarin, who used the alias Asher Potts, was arrested and charged Tuesday in Harrisburg, the capital city, police said.

Samarin is accused of masquerading as a Harrisburg High School student who was a member of the National Honor Society. Samarin was actively involved at the school, working with a student advisory group on a food bank, and he was a member of the school's ROTC and Naval Sea Cadet programs.

Samarin was enrolled in the school in the fall of 2012, CBS Harrisburg affiliate WHP-TV reports.
