A Venezuelan man, aged 24, was taken into custody in Perrysburg, Ohio, on suspicion of using false documents to enroll in a public high school illegally.

Court documents indicate that Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra, 24, is facing a forgery charge and is being detained with a $50,000 bond. Perrysburg Police Department reported that they were alerted by the Perrysburg Local Schools on Monday regarding potential fraudulent conduct concerning one of their students.

After a preliminary investigation, a fraud case was established and handed over to the department’s detectives for further investigation.

“After reviewing our enrollment procedures, the school district is assured that all appropriate legal measures were adhered to, in alignment with the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, to support someone claiming to be an unaccompanied minor,” the district stated. “We are grateful for our strong collaboration with the Perrysburg Police Division and appreciate the prompt actions taken.”

The school also updated the statement, saying Labrador Sierra had been a member of the junior varsity soccer and swim teams, adding the situation has been reported to the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

Labrador Sierra was ultimately taken into custody during a traffic stop on Interstate 75 on Tuesday afternoon.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Fox News they have located Labrador Sierra’s information under a different spelling of his name. They added that Labrador Sierra is a visa overstay who first came to the U.S. in 2019. DHS also confirmed Labrador has received TPS.

Labrador is being held in the Wood County Jail on $50,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 29.
