ALBANY, Oregon — A registered sex offender has been arrested after attempting to enroll in a high school in Albany.
On Dec. 13, Families and Communities Together (F.A.C.T.) contacted a school resource officer about a person attempting to register for high school, according to the Albany Police Department. The 27-year-old woman, identified as Makayla Craig, had posed as a 15-year-old girl, as well as gave a fake name and date of birth.
A state mandate allows homeless youth to start to register for school without "verifiable identification," but there are safeguards in place to confirm the person's identity, police said.
Craig was arrested on charges of computer crimes, forgery II and false swearing. She is lodged at Linn County Jail.
