According to a report from the Windsor Star, Canadian border officials recently arrested Jonathan Nicola, a man believed to be 30 years old who has spent the last six months posing as a teenager in Windsor, Ontario.
Nicola, who is 6-foot-9, was a star for the Central Catholic High School basketball team. His coach, Pete Cusumano, had given interviews where he suggested that Nicola might one day go pro.
The Canada Border Services Agency said Wednesday officers arrested Nicola for allegedly contravening the Immigration Refugee Protection Act. He is being detained under the authority of that act. The agency didn’t elaborate on what Nicola, who is in Canada on a student visa, is accused of doing.
Nicola had a detention review Tuesday before the Immigration and Refugee Board, which decided he should remain in custody. There is another hearing scheduled for next week.
Nicola had been living with coach Cusumano at the time of his arrest.
