WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA - A Guatemalan man has been indicted by a federal grand jury sitting in Clarksburg on a reentry of a removed alien charge, Acting United States Attorney Betsy Steinfeld Jividen announced.

Ricardo Ramirez-Ramirez, age 34, was indicted on one count of “Reentry of Removed Alien.” Ramirez-Ramirez, having previously been removed from Arizona, allegedly was found in Ohio County in May 2017 without consent.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen L. Vogrin is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and the Wheeling Police Department are investigating. 

An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
