Illegal Immigrant Arrested in Muscatine

A man found in Muscatine, who is originally from Mexico, was sentenced to 27 months in prison yesterday after pleading guilty to illegal reentry into the United States.

31-year-old Rodriguez Paz was also ordered to serve one year of supervised release following his prison time and pay $100 towards the Crime Victims Fund. Also after his sentence Paz will be turned over to Immigration authorities.

Paz was given an enhanced sentence due to his 2011 felony conviction for possession with intent to deliver cocaine after his state drug conviction was deported.
