Drunken driving border crosser caught … again
A repeat drunken driver and border crosser from Guatemala is being kicked out of the country again.
Romeo Waldemar Gabriel Lopez, 32, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Myong J. Joun to time served — six months — and one year of supervised release, the feds said Tuesday.
Gabriel Lopez was first deported in April 2016 after his first drunken driving conviction. His second deportation was in October 2016, after he was apprehended illegally crossing the border in Eagle Pass, Texas, prosecutors said.
He crossed the border in Texas again in late 2016 and another time in 2020, the feds add. In July 2022, he pleaded guilty to the second, pending OUI charge and was sentenced to probation.
Now he’s heading back, presumably, to Guatemala.
