PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A Dominican national has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for entering the country illegally for a third time.
Jose Mercedes-Leon was twice deported after being convicted on felony drug charges, but re-entered the country illegally both times.
He was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Providence, and will face a deportion hearing after finishing his prison term.
The 30-year-old man was most recently arrested in Woonsocket in December 2008 on a felony assault charge.
