His enrollment was in accordance with federal and state requirements for students who do not have legal guardians or are homeless. He also allegedly applied for and received several documents while enrolled at the district. WTOL reported that those documents included a driver's license, Social Security number, and federal Temporary Protective Status from the United States Immigration Department. The superintendent also said Sierra applied under the Labrador name for a visa and even had his guardianship granted to a Perrysburg family by the Wood County Juvenile Court. That family contacted the district about the alleged fraudulent identity on May 14 after they got information that he wasn't a minor. The district confronted Sierra about it, but he denied the claims and referenced his birth certificate, which WTOL reported included a birth date that would make him 17 as of May 14. An investigation was conducted by the Perrysburg Police Division. In a statement to WTOL, police revealed Sierra was from Venezuela. 'Through our investigation and working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it was discovered that Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra, a 24-year-old from Venezuela, had used fraudulent documents to enroll in Perrysburg Schools, and was posing as a 17-year-old high school student,' police said. Sierra was arrested during a traffic stop on Interstate 75 on Monday. He's been booked into the Wood County Jail. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
