Little league football exposes big league liar?

Share

AUGUST30 A man has been arrested in Florida for pretending to be seven years younger than he really was just so he could play football.

I know what you're thinking, but his name wasn't Brett Favre.

Julious Javone Threatts (pictured) is 21-years-old, but when he allegedly attempted to enroll in a Tampa middle school and join the Tampa Bay Youth Football League, the name and birth certificate he gave to officials identified him as "Chad Jordan" and appeared to show he was only 14.

"He really acted like a kid," youth football coach Ray McCloud told WSVN news in Florida, "My son is 13, and my son was hanging out with him, and (Threatts) acted more immature than (my son)."

Despite Threatt's skills at appearing immature, he set off warning bells when he arrived to enroll in school without either proper paperwork or his parents, and according to the school's principal "looked too old to be in middle school."

After he was arrested on charges including trespassing on school grounds and obstruction by a disguised person, the cops found one other piece of evidence that "Chad Jordan" might not be who he said he was.

According to police records, the 21-year-old had a tattoo on his left forearm reading "Julious."
