Jacksonville, Florida – United States District Judge Wendy W. Berger has sentenced Gustavo De Jesus Ramirez-Ramirez (54, Colombia) to 27 months in federal prison for illegal reentry into the United States by a previously deported alien. Ramirez-Ramirez entered a guilty plea on September 16, 2024.

According to court records, Ramirez-Ramirez was arrested on November 11, 2022, in Jacksonville after he rappelled from a hole in the ceiling of a business and then drilled through three adjacent business walls and into a jewelry store. He later pleaded guilty in state court to burglary of a dwelling with damage and burglary of a structure. After his arrest, it was also discovered that Ramirez-Ramirez was present in the United States illegally. Ramirez-Ramirez has two previous deportations, one of which followed a prior conviction for illegal reentry into the United States in October 2014.

This case was investigated by the Homeland Security Investigations and the Jacksonville’s Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Brenna Falzetta.
