The impressive American high schooler who turned out to be a 23-year-old Ukrainian man
Asher Potts was finishing a stellar high school run.
He was in the National Honor Society and was a member of his school’s ROTC and had, at least at one point, achieved a 4.16 grade-point average, Pennsylvania state Rep. Patty Kim once noted in a tweet.
“He was the perfect role model, someone you would want your son to look up to,” Marcel McCaskill, who knew Potts through a math and science program, told the Associated Press.
Potts was on track to graduate from Harrisburg’s John Harris High School this spring. But it all came crashing down this week.
Eighteen-year-old Asher Potts, it turns out, was actually 23-year-old Artur Samarin, a Ukrainian national. He was arrested on Tuesday on charges of identity theft, tampering with public records and theft by unlawful taking.
