A 36-year-old El Salvador, who was deported nine years ago, has been arrested for illegally reentering the United States.
Mario Antonio Herrera was deported from the U.S. to El Salvador in March 2010.
Herrera’s removal followed his conviction in Manchester Superior Court in July 2008 for assault in the second degree. Herrera’s criminal history also includes Connecticut convictions for carrying a dangerous weapon, reckless endangerment, and other offenses, according to a release from U.S. Attorney John H. Durham.
Federal officials learned that Herrera was back in the U.S. after he was arrested on July 1 in East Hartford on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering/resisting arrest.
At the time of his arrest Herrera was using the name “Antonio Morales.”
Herrera has been detained since his arrest.
Earlier this month, a federal grand jury in New Haven returned an indictment charging Herrera with one count of illegally reentering the U.S. after being deported.
On Tuesday, he entered a plea of not guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert M. Spector in New Haven.
If convicted of the charge of illegal reentry, Herrera could remain in the U.S. for 10 years ... behind bars.
