An illegal Mexican immigrant has been sentenced in federal court to six months in prison for re-entering the country after he was removed as an alien five years ago.

According to U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan, Victor Arreola-Ochoa, 30, was discovered by state police at New Stanton on Feb. 28 while they were investigating a traffic accident.

Before imposing sentence on Arreola-Ochoa, U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti said she sentenced him more severely because he said he intended to return to the United States in violation of federal law.
