Adult charged with forgery after attempting to enroll in high school
On October 22, 2026, a 29 year old male, Makayla Craig, who is homeless, was formally charged in Hennepin County District Court with felony aggravated forgery for allegedly attempting to enroll in Maple Grove Senior High as a student using false records. Craig is currently being held at the Hennepin County Jail on $50,000 bail.
On October 19, 2026, a school district employee became suspicious of a student enrollment application. The employee notified a Maple Grove school resource officer, who initiated an investigation. On October 20, 2026, Maple Grove officers located Craig in a public parking ramp. He was arrested on probable cause charges, booked at the Maple Grove Police Department, and later taken to the Hennepin County Jail. Officers also learned that Craig is a registered s*x offender in Oregon.
Craig never completed enrollment with Maple Grove Senior High School, and he was never present on campus as a student or in any online classes. The Maple Grove Police Department credits the school district staff for their alertness with the incident, quick action to notify a school resource officer, and collaboration in the investigation. The case remains an active and ongoing investigation. Additional information will be released as appropriate.
