Police have arrested a 30-year old man in Canada who was pretending to be a high school student and star basketball player.
Canadian border officers arrested Jonathon Nicola, who is believed to be 30 years old. Nicola was a well-known high school basketball player for Catholic Central High School while posing as a teenager.
Here are details from the Windsor Star:
Canadian border officers have arrested an African man, believed to be 30 years old, who spent the last six months attending Catholic Central High School while posing as a teenager.
Jonathon Nicola, who became a well-known high school basketball player, was being kept Wednesday at the South West Detention Centre.
The Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board is keeping tight-lipped about the situation.
“There’s really not a whole lot to say,” said spokesman Stephen Fields. “Because of the fact this is a matter that’s still outstanding before the federal authorities, obviously we can’t really comment on it. Beyond that there’s not a whole lot to say.”
The Canada Border Services Agency said Wednesday officers arrested Nicola for allegedly contravening the Immigration Refugee Protection Act. He is being detained under the authority of that act. The agency didn’t elaborate on what Nicola, who is in Canada on a student visa, is accused of doing.
