Illegal immigrant gets prison time




HARRISONBURG -- A convicted felon from Berryville will spend 2 1/2 years in prison for illegally returning to the U.S. after being deported.

Gabino Lopez-Santos, 38, of Berryville, whose numerous aliases include Corky Lopez-Gomes and Martin Zoto-Toto, was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court to 30 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, according to online court records.

Lopez-Santos, who is Mexican, has two drug convictions in Washington state dating back from the 1990s, according to an affidavit filed in the case. He was deported in 1997, but returned five years later, according to court documents.

District Judge Glen E. Conrad ordered that Lopez-Santos be deported upon his release, according to court records.
