Is it "Merlin" in this newsclip?

[tailfins]

If you remember that "Merlin" character from "Amish Mafia" and compare him to the guy in this newscast, is it the same person? Which makes me wonder if "Merlin" is a fake Amish also fooling the media. Or could he be a non-practicing Amish only "in" by relation?
