Arrest in Minnesota after forged enrollment as high school senior

A 22-year-old man identified by students as Kelvin Luebke has been arrested after school officials determined he allegedly used falsified documents and a false identity to enroll as a senior at White Bear Lake Area High School in Minnesota and join the school’s football team, Principal Russell Reetz wrote to families on Tuesday. Authorities took the man into custody on Sunday; he is being held in Anoka County Jail on charges including theft and lewdness and has been banned from district property while police continue their investigation.

Reetz said in his letter that the district received reports that an enrolled student was over the age of 21 and promptly opened an investigation. He wrote that the district followed its enrollment process, which he described as being as rigorous as state law allows, but that the individual appears to have provided fraudulent documentation and a false identity to enroll. School enrollment requirements include verification of birth date, proof of address and immunization records.

Students told school officials that the person was listed on the football roster under a different name and age. Online recruiting profiles in the individual’s name list...
