The 17-year-old student at a New York high school was arrested and now faces a charge of criminal impersonation, WSAZ NewsChannel 3 reports.

The incident came weeks after the student was accused of making fake school email accounts in a bid to obtain personal information about a fellow student.

The fake fax was linked to the student because, according to police, he put his own mobile phone number on the cover sheet.

The student has not been named and police have not commented on a possible motive.
