TRUBA, 12 May 2006 — Following a school play, a Saudi student decided to give immigration authorities a run for their money, the daily Al-Madinah reported yesterday. The kid was dressed in traditional Pakistani clothing as part of his role as common laborer in the play. On his way home, still dressed as a poor Pakistani, officials from the Passport Department mistook the youth for a possible undocumented migrant from the Subcontinent. Instead of stopping to explain that he was 100-percent Saudi, the youth decided for fun to run from the cops, who chased the boy all the way back to his home. His father then came out and explained to the authorities that his son was not an overstayer. No charges were filed, but the cop got their exercise for the day.
