    Sherwin Shayegan

    As a general precaution, please be aware of the following individual should you see him at any of your school's activities or events.

    Sherwin Shayegan has been known to travel to school events, enter through pass gates or purchase a ticket, and attempt to join a school on the field/court/deck/locker room. He offers the team water and/or Gatorade to pose as the team manager. He may try to wear the apparel of that school. He has been known to jump onto the back of one of the participants for a piggyback ride.

    Shayegan has a lengthy criminal record in Skagit and Snohomish Counties, which includes convictions for criminal trespass, burglary, and assault. Several school districts have a “no trespass” order against him.
