A New Britain man’s violent past has caught up with him, as he’s been sentenced to prison for reentering the U.S. after being deported.
Armando Bermejo, a 27-year-old citizen of Mexico last residing in New Britain, was sentenced to four months of imprisonment for illegally reentering the U.S. after he was deported.
Bermejo’s violent past includes a 2008 shooting in New Britain, where he shot a victim multiple times at point-blank range, causing life-threatening injuries. He was arrested and, on January 12, 2012, he was sentenced in New Britain Superior Court to eight years of incarceration.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Bermejo has never held legal status in the U.S. In June 2008, he was deported to Mexico after his arrest by the New Britain Police Department and subsequent conviction of possession of marijuana. On March 11, 2009, Bermejo was encountered by ICE agents in the area of Naco, Ariz., and he was again removed to Mexico.
On October 9, 2013, Bermejo pleaded guilty to one count of illegal reentry of a removed alien. Judge Underhill ordered Bermejo to serve his four-month federal sentence after he is released from state custody.
This matter was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah R. Slater.
