Mexican National Sentenced for Unlawful Reentry After Pleading Guilty to Possessing Stolen Vehicle and Drugs

TULSA, Okla. – A Mexican National was sentenced today for Unlawfully Reentering the United States, after four prior removals, and possessing a stolen vehicle and drugs, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.

U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell sentenced Rodrigo Chacon Villegas, 36, for Unlawful Reentry of a Removed Alien. Judge Frizzell ordered Chacon Villegas to serve 18 months imprisonment in the United States Bureau of Prisons, followed by three years of supervised release. Upon his release, Chacon Villegas is expected to face removal proceedings.

In December 2024, immigration officials found Chacon Villegas at the Tulsa County Jail after being arrested in November for driving a stolen vehicle, possessing methamphetamine, and marijuana. In State Court, Chacon Villegas was sentenced to a two-year suspended sentence in the Department of Corrections after pleading guilty.

Records show that Chacon Villegas is a Mexican national who has previously been deported and removed from the United States four times.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michele Hulgaard prosecuted the case.
