TUALATIN, Ore. — A man who befriended high school athletes in Washington and Oregon and asked them for piggyback rides has been arrested in Tualatin.
Police told KGW they arrested Sherwin Shayegan on Monday at a hotel on a drug-related warrant from Mount Vernon, Wash. An officer had seen him in recent days at a school event.
The Oregon School Activities Association had advised athletes to look out for Shayegan after he turned up at games in Eugene and Pendleton. Executive Director Tom Welter says Shayegan talked his way into locker rooms and got piggyback rides from some players.
Terry Carter of the Bonney Lake, Wash., Police Department said Shayegan had given a player money, then jumped on his back for a piggyback ride.
