A 25-year-old man was arrested after allegedly posing as a Hurricane Harvey evacuee and enrolling as a freshman at a Dallas ISD high school. 
 
 Sidney Bouvier Gilstrap-Portley apparently enrolled at Hillcrest High School under the name Rashun Richardson after claiming to be a victim displaced by Harvey, which made landfall in the Houston area in mid-August. 
 
 He was booked into the Dallas County Jail Friday on charges of tampering with government records and has since been released. 
 
 Gilstrap-Portley had enrolled at Skyline High School in August and re-enrolled at Hillcrest two months later, WFAA confirmed. 
 
 The reasons for his enrollment in Dallas ISD, and for the transfer, weren’t immediately clear. 
 
 “This school year our district welcomed evacuees displaced by Hurricane Harvey. During that time, an individual used that opportunity for personal gain,” district spokeswoman Robyn Harris told WFAA. 
 
 DISD told WFAA that when a student enrolls and claims they are homeless or an evacuee due to a natural disaster, federal law exempts them from requiring documents they might not have.

 A district spokesperson said Gilstrap-Portley may have provided as little as just immunization records and proof of a physical. 
 
 The last day he showed up to class was April 25, the district said. 
 
 Gilstrap-Portley even played for the Hillcrest basketball team, the school confirmed. According to a write-up by the Preston Hollow People, “Rashun Richardson” scored 17 points in the team’s first-round playoff loss. 
 
 Gilstrap-Portley graduated from North Mesquite High School in 2011, a source told WFAA. It was revealed that he was an imposter when his former basketball coach recently saw him playing for a high school team, the source said.

 She said teachers and coaches at Hillcrest told her that he was a good kid, but that he seemed to have been through a lot and came off as much older than 17 years old. 
 
 The woman said she never suspected Gilstrap-Portley was leading a double life until a detective contacted her Monday. The detective told her that Gilstrap-Portley, who has a young child, claimed he was looking to start over his athletic career by playing for a high school again, the mother said. 
 
 "I’m upset, frustrated, angry and sad at the same time," she said. "If it’s happening at Hillcrest, then it could be happening somewhere else. People need to know. It could have gone differently if he had other intentions to hurt her or to traffic her." 
 
 Hurricane Harvey claim 
 
 Hillcrest principal Chris Bayer said in a letter to students and parents Tuesday that the school immediately notified the district and local authorities once it "became aware of a student enrolled at our school under false pretenses claiming to be a displaced Hurricane Harvey victim." 
 
 
 
 "We believe it is absolutely essential that every young person, especially in times of great difficulty, feels safe and secure, and that was the guiding principle when we were welcoming students displaced by the hurricane," Bayer said. "This is a unique situation that shows us areas that need improving when we open our doors to students in times of need." ||||| You must enter the characters with black color that stand out from the other characters

 — A Jack Britt High School student accepted a plea deal to reduce felony charges of sexual exploitation and will now serve a probation sentence, according to court documents. 
 
 Cormega Copening, 17, faced five felony charges of sexual exploitation for exchanging explicit pictures with his girlfriend, Brianna Benson. Both were 16 at the time. 
 
 Copening was also charged with one misdemeanor count of injury to personal property for a separate incident. The 17-year-old was accused of throwing a football that broke a girl’s windshield after a confrontation. 
 
 He agreed to a plea deal on two counts of disseminating harmful material to minors, while the other charges were voluntarily dismissed, according to court documents. He will now serve probation for one year and is banned from carrying a cell phone. 
 
 Officials said Copening and Benson received the same deal. Both will qualify to have the charges expunged if they complete the probation. 
 
 The Fayetteville native and quarterback for the Buccaneers was reinstated for the team’s Friday night matchup against Scotland High School. He did not start the game but entered in the second quarter, according to a team official. 
 
 Copening was benched on Aug. 21 until his legal issues were resolved.
– A "savvy" 25-year-old gamed the Dallas school system and posed as a high school student, all apparently so he could play some basketball, officials say. The Dallas Morning News reports Sidney Bouvier Gilstrap-Portley was arrested Friday after authorities say he pretended to be 17-year-old "Rashaun Richardson" and enrolled at two high schools—first Skyline in August, then Hillcrest in October, where he joined that school's basketball team and was voted District 11-5A's offensive player of the year. The Dallas ISD superintendent says the "perfect storm" that led to this involved an actual storm: Gilstrap-Portley reportedly said he'd been left homeless by Hurricane Harvey and came to Dallas alone. More: The district tells WFAA students who've been through a natural disaster or are homeless aren't asked for the same documentation that's typically required, per federal law. Gilstrap-Portley may have scammed his way in with just immunization and physical records, a district rep says.
