FARGO, N.D., Feb. 11 (UPI) -- A Seattle man dubbed the "piggyback bandit" has been reported jumping or trying to jump on the backs of athletes at games in five states, officials say.
The Forum of Fargo, N.D., reported Saturday the man, identified as Sherwin Shayegan, 28, has shown up in North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Washington and Oregon.
Minnesota high school coaches were on the lookout for this guy after being alerted by North Dakota authorities. While seemingly quite polite and somewhat harmless now, it's only a matter of time before he enlists an accomplice and they start pulling the old One-Guy-Squats-Down-Behind-While-The-Other-Guy-Pushes-The-Victim-Over Trick. Someone could lose an eye that way!
