A 31-year-old woman has been arrested
after several months posing as a teenage student at a private high school in
Texas, local media reported.
Charity Johnson enrolled in October as a sophomore
at New Life Christian School in Longview under the name "Charite
Stevens," with identification that said she was 15 years old, broadcast
station KLTV said.
Johnson told school officials she
had been home-schooled and had no prior transcripts. A school district
representative could not immediately be reached for comment.
Tamica Lincoln, a
woman who lives in the area, told KLTV she took Johnson in after she claimed to
be a teenage orphan from an abusive household, enrolled her in school and met
with her teachers.
"I took her in as a child, did
her hair, got her clothes and shoes," Lincoln said. But Lincoln said she
started to doubt Johnson's story and alerted police. Johnson was arrested
Sunday after identifying herself to police as the alias she used to enroll in
school, the TV report said. Johnson was charged with failure to identify and
giving false information, according to jail records.
