An Ohio high school discovered that a proclaimed 17-year-old Venezuelan migrant student is actually a 24-year-old illegal immigrant, authorities say.

Perrysburg Local Schools said it is conducting a full investigation into a highly deceptive and unusual case where a 24-year-old migrant from Venezuela enrolled at the high school using fraudulent documents and false pretenses.

A Wood County school district is investigating how a 24-year-old man was able to enroll in its high school, allegedly posing as a teenager for more than a year-and-a-half.

Police and the Perrysburg Schools district were the first to issue statements regarding the arrest. Meanwhile, local politicians have also reacted to the incident.
