Anna Krause’s son, 16-year-old Gentry Stephens, competed in a soccer game earlier in the school year against Anthony Emmanuel Labrador-Sierra.
SYLVANIA, Ohio — Anna Krause said it doesn’t feel real, after the arrest of Perrysburg High School student Anthony Emmanuel Labrador-Sierra, who was taken into custody Monday, charged with felony forgery.
“It’s just a wild, crazy story,” she told WTOL 11. “It’s like a movie.”
Police said the 24-year-old used fake documents, including a Venezuelan birth certificate, to pose as a 17-year-old student under the name “Anthony Labrador.’
The story hit close to home for Krause. Her 16-year-old son, Gentry Stephens, played junior varsity soccer for Northview High School this year and unknowingly competed against Sierra this past season.
“My son said he remembered playing with him,” Krause said. “I thought for sure he had to have been mistaken because, you know, it’s already a wild story.”
He wasn’t wrong. Multiple photos …
