KSDK -- A Mexico native was sentenced Wednesday to 24 months in jail for illegally re-entering the United States, U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway said.

According to Hanaway, Gerardo Quinones-Nunez first came to the attention of law enforcement after he tried to obtain a state ID. He was arrested in Phelps County on December 4, 2008 by Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Nunez, 51, a citizen of Durango, Mexico, pled guilty in February to one count of illegally re-entering the country. He could have been sentenced to a maximum prison term of 20 years.
