A 22-year-old man allegedly used a false identity and lied about his age to enroll in a Minnesota high school and join the football team, as students claimed the district “failed us.”
Kelvin Luebke was arrested Sunday after officials at White Bear Lake High School discovered he allegedly used fraudulent documents to enroll as a senior, Alpha News reported.
In a letter to parents on Tuesday, Principal Russell Reetz stated that an individual “over the age of 21” had evaded the district’s security measures to become a student at the school.
Upon our initial investigation, we have determined that while enrolling this individual, we followed our enrollment process, which is as rigorous as state law allows,” he said.
Reetz did not identify Luebke — who went by “KJ” — a student from the high school confirmed that he was the suspect in question, according to Alpha News.

The student also revealed that Luebke was on the football team’s roster.
The principal confirmed to parents that the suspect appeared “to have provided fraudulent documentation and a false identity to enroll.”
White Bear Lake High School required enrollees to submit three required documents to the school: verification of birth date (birth certificate), proof of address (driver’s license or utility bill), and immunization records.
It’s unclear what age Luebke was using on the false documents.
