Authorities
say a man dubbed the “Piggyback Bandit” because of a habit of jumping
on the backs of high school athletes in Oregon and Washington State has
been arrested in Montana. Police received a tip that 28-year-old Sherwin
Shayegan was at a high school boys soccer tournament in Helena on
Friday and saw him jump on a player’s back. Police took Shayegan into
custody on suspicion of misdemeanor assault. Last spring the Oregon
School Activities Association warned athletes to look out for Shayegan
after officials say he turned up at events in Eugene and Pendleton and
got piggyback rides from some athletes. Police in Bonney Lake,
Washington, say Shayegan gave a high school athlete money and jumped on
his back.
