In the United States exposed a 23-year-old Ukrainian who pretended himself as an American high school student

In the American state of Pennsylvania, a 23-year-old Ukrainian was exposed, who impersoned a local high school student, reports Yahoo! News with reference to AP. According to the police, the Ukrainian took advantage of fake documents after the expiration of the visa.

Arthur Samarin, who lived under the name Esher Potts, was arrested on Thursday, February 25, in the capital of Pennsylvania Harrisberg.

According to investigators, Samarin pretended to be a high school student Harrisberg and a member of the National Society of Honor - an organization that unites American schoolchildren with excellent studies in study. In addition, Samarin actively participated in the life of the school, including a participant in the training programs for reserve officers and sea cadets.

At the time of his detention, he had a driver’s license in the name of Potts. The police believe that this personality is completely fictional, which means that no data was stolen as a result of criminal actions.

Sergeant Terry Willland said the police received information about Samarin about two months ago. The authorities believe that he has been in the country for about four years - he entered the first grade of the upper four -year step, and at the time of his detention he had less than four months before graduation.

Willialand noted that Samarin arrived in the USA on a tourist visa under his real name. It is not known whether he lived all this time in Harrisberg. Apparently, he lived with people with whom he managed to make friends. Currently, law enforcement agencies find out who could be involved in the manufacture of false documents.

“I believe that someone knew about this,” Willialand said. “And if so, then they should also be punished.”

High school students, who had studied side by side in Samarin for several years, say that the news became shocking for them. At the same time, one of his comrades said that they made fun of the Ukrainian, calling him a “Russian spy” because of the accent, but otherwise he did not cause any suspicion.
