A Guyanese man was slapped last week with a one-year sentence for attempting to return to the US through Vermont after he was removed from the country twice before.
Kwame Wilson, 36, was removed from the US in 1998 to face cocaine distribution charges in the UK. On Tuesday he was sentenced in a US courtroom after pleading guilty to one count of illegally re-entering the US after previous deportation.
US District Court Chief Judge William Sessions 111, according to a Burlington FreePress.com report, also sentenced Wilson to two years supervised release and ordered him not to re-enter the US without permission.
Court documents, the report said, say US Customs and Border Protection officers spotted a vehicle going the wrong way on a road near Derby Line with Wilson as the passenger. Following his deportation in 1998 Wilson has also been removed from the US in 2007 after he had served a UK prison sentence.
