31-Year-Old High School Sophomore Arrested in Texas

[alp227]

A high school sophomore in Texas was arrested earlier this week after it turned out she was actually 31 years old.

Charity Anne Johnson allegedly enrolled at the appropriately-named New Life Christian School in Longview, Texas in March, using the name "Charity Stevens."

KLTV reports that, before enrolling at the school, Johnson told Tamica Lincoln she was 15 and needed a place to stay. Lincoln said she agreed and acted as Johnson's guardian when she enrolled at New Life.

5. Good quote by someone there: "I'd pay good money to NOT go back to high school even

if I could pass for 15".

I'm 33 and might still be able to pull off 17-18. That said, high school was the worst. My old self would have hit the door for community college at 16 if I knew I could.

6. If I could got back to,high school

As the person I am now, it might be fun for a week or two. "You want me to what? Yeah I don't think so, studies show that doesn't work."

24. So just to harass an underpaid, overworked teacher?

You sound like a real prince.

[LibertyLover]

25. That would be princess to you buddy

and no, I liked my teachers, well all except our gym teachers. It would be to laugh at some of my fellow students who thought they were so cool. When I was in high school, I couldn't do that - I was too shy. I'm not now. I'd have fun.

[Massacure]

15. You might want to reread it.

From the article:

Police arrested Johnson for failure to identify and giving false information after she gave them a fake name and birthday.

[Comrade Grumpy]

18. Thank you. Ooh, scary.

[devils chaplain]

13. She must have good genes...

In the looks department, if not the sanity department. I'd have an easier time getting into a nursing home than a high school at 31.

[dembotoz]

16. so if she walks into a bar and does not get carded--is the bartender in the soup for serving a high

school student....

[devils chaplain]

17. If she sleeps with a 22 year old teacher...

Which one is the cradle robber?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Was her name Jerri Blank?

Did she steal the TV?

[951-Riverside]

21. Saw her pic. How in hell did she fool people?

This woman got away with pretending that she was a 15 year old between March and this week?

GOOD LORD!
