Illegal alien faces 8-year drug term

September 29, 2012

LAPORTE -- Anthony Flores, 26, who is in the country illegally, was given an eight-year prison sentence Friday for selling $100 worth of cocaine.

He pleaded guilty to a Class B felony and was sentenced by LaPorte Circuit Court Judge Tom Alevizos.

Deputy Prosecutor Chris Fronk said he sought a lighter sentence during plea negotiations, believing it was best if Flores was deported to Mexico sooner to save on the expense of his care while incarcerated.
