K3V star the host of a bright triple?

SDSS J170008.72+291903.7 has a position that's well within the resolution of FIRST source J170008.6+291904. And it's also pretty unambiguously a #triple. With nothing nearby (SDSS, photometrically).
Yet it has an SDSS spectrum that is quite unambiguously that of a K3V star! 😮

To quote myself
Has this to say
Resolved or complex radio morphology is typically associated with an extra-Galactic object such as a radio galaxy or quasar
and
Because these objects clearly show stellar spectra, we interpret them as optically-faint radio quasars in chance alignment with >bright foreground stars. We rejected the complex sources as obviously extra-Galactic
still such almost perfect aligment ...

Indeed. I had a vague feeling I'd seen this before, so thanks to your excellent memory, I now know that I had 😄
