A 28 year-old woman was arrested in Miami Wednesday after she was caught sneaking into a high school and posing as a student in order to boost her Instagram following.
The culprit, Audrey Francisquini, must have been inspired after watching Drew Barrymore’s 1999 classic “Never Been Kissed,” because she went to great lengths to disguise herself as an “average teen” even though her ruse ultimately didn’t work.
According to the Washington Post, Francisquini arrived at Miami’s American Senior High School “with a backpack slung over her shoulders, a painting under one arm and a skateboard under the other.” (If that makes you think of the Steve Buscemi “how do you do, fellow kids” scene from “30 Rock,” you’re not alone.)

A woman posing as a high school student was arrested by police after her alleged attempt to boost her Instagram following fell apart.
According to a report from Local 10 News, a Miami Beach high school called in local law enforcement after a woman pretending to be a student at the institution began hounding students with pamphlets promoting her social media accounts.
On Monday, Audrey Nicole Francisquini entered the American Senior High School, despite being 28-years-old and having no obvious affiliation to any student. According to Local 10 News, she asked school security where the registration office was, allegedly claiming she was a new student to the school.

A 28-year-old woman who wanted to promote her Instagram page attempted to blend in with students at a Miami-area high school, police said.
Monday’s stunt at American Senior High School landed Audrey Francisquini in jail, where she’s facing charges of burglary, interfering with a school function and resisting arrest without violence, records show.
Francisquini started handing out pamphlets printed with her Instagram account after sneaking onto the campus around 8:30 a.m. Monday, police said. She had a black backpack and carried a skateboard as she walked through the hallways, recording herself.
