Attorney Jim Letten. In addition to the term of imprisonment, Judge Vance ordered that BELTRAN be placed on three (3) years of supervised release following the term of imprisonment, during which time the defendant will be under federal supervision and risks an additional term of imprisonment should he violate any terms of his supervised release.

BELTRAN’s sentence was subject to an enhancement based on a previous aggravated felony conviction.
The case was investigated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol. The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Robert Weir.
