The man had been deported in 2005.By ROBERT BOCZKIEWICZ

DENVER β€” A Mexican citizen who illegally returned to the United States three months after being deported for a Pueblo crime was sentenced Monday to 15 months in prison.

U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger sentenced Jaime Hernandez-Badillo, 28, for re-entering the country after having committed a felony and being deported.

Hernandez-Badillo admitted in a court filing that he was deported in February 2005 and illegally came back to the U.S. the following May.

He was deported after being convicted in 2004 in Pueblo for having cocaine.

Hernandez-Badillo surfaced again in the criminal justice system last August when he was arrested in Pueblo for having an unspecified controlled substance. He has relatives in Pueblo and listed his address as the 900 block of East First Street. Pueblo County jail officers turned Hernandez-Badillo over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for prosecution in federal court. Authorities said he also has used the name Ramiro Sanchez.
