GULFPORT, Miss. (WTOK) - The U.S. Attorney's Office says Oscar Alfredo Burgon-Urrea, 39, a citizen of Honduras, pleaded guilty Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola, Jr., to unlawful re-entry by a removed alien previously convicted of a felony.
Burgon-Urrea is scheduled to be sentenced June 5. He faces a
maximum penalty of ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
On December 4, 2017, during Department of Homeland Security criminal alien program duties at the Jackson County Adult Detention Center, an ICE deportation officer arrested Burgon-Urrea, who was being held by local officials for public drunkenness after Moss Point police officers found him by the side of Interstate 10 in an intoxicated condition.
The government says further investigation revealed that Burgon-Urrea had been lawfully removed from the United States in 2005, and had illegally re-entered the United States on six subsequent occasions.
In 2011, he was convicted in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas of re-entry by a deported alien, a felony. He had been known by multiple variations of his name including Oscar Alfredo Burgos-Urrea, Oscar Alredo Burgos Ureea, Oscar Alfredo Burgos, Oscar Burgos and Oscar Alfredo.
The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Moss Point Police Department and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.
