The Ukrainian was arrested because he had been a high school student in Pennsylvania for four years.

Arthur Samarin, 23, was enrolled at Harrisburg High School under the name "Asher Potts" after his visa expired in 2012.

According to police, he is accused of stealing personal data and forging documents.

Reportedly, Mr. Samarin, who pretended to be a 18-year-old, was an active member of the school community.

According to police, he had a driver's license in the name of Potts, a social security card and used a fake date of birth. There is a suspicion that his name was fabricated and not stolen.

Harrisburg has collaborated with the police on this case.

Local media report that he was an active student at school.

In May 2014, he dated Pennsylvania State Representative Petty Kim. She posted a photo on Twitter presenting “Usher Potts” with a certificate, introducing him as a new member of the renowned US educational organization National Honor Society.

Marcel McCaskill, who studied with Samarin, told the AP that it was “absolutely fantastic” to learn about his real identity.

“To be honest, he was a very respectable guy. He was the perfect role model,” he said.

He participated in charitable organizations, cadet programs, discussions about violence among young people in Harisburzi.
