Registered offender accused of pretending to be high school teen in Minnesota

Enrollment attempt drew attention
Police said Craig sought to enroll at Maple Grove Senior High School while posing as a teenage girl. During an interview, Craig said they had never attended school but wanted to “get the full experience,” authorities said.
Craig did not complete the enrollment process, police said, and was not present at the school or in its online classes. The school district’s staff alerted a school resource officer, prompting a joint investigation with police.
Arrest and previous case
Authorities identified the suspect as Craig and arrested them at a public parking ramp. The report says this was not Craig’s first attempt to enroll in a high school while claiming to be a homeless teen.
Bail and court conditions
Craig is being held at Hennepin County Jail. A judge set bail Friday at $200,000 without conditions or $100,000 with conditions.
