A student (17) at a high school in Aust-Agder is sentenced to 100 hours of community service after he wrote false medical documents in order to receive an excused absence.

The school student escapes prison because he was only 17 when the incident happened, writes Agderposten.

There was a doctor in Arendal whose signature was forged on nine statements that the 17-year-old delivered over a period of three months. But the school became suspicious and checked the documents closer, then the 17 year old was caught.

In Aust-Agder District Court, the boy was also convicted of having hit a student in March this year.
