WATERVLIET — A man who was arrested in Watervliet pleaded guilty to felony re-entry of a removed alien in federal court, Wednesday.

Acting U.S. Attorney Andrew Baxter said Evaldo Goulart Pereira, 32, a citizen of Brazil, was deported on March 20, 2001. On Feb. 26, he was arrested by the federal Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at a residence in Watervliet.

U.S. District Court Judge David Hurd sentenced Pereira to time served, 14 days, and he was remanded to the custody of the Department of Homeland Security for removal proceedings.

Colonie and Watervliet police departments assisted in the investigation.
