SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Tom Larson, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Honduran national was indicted by a federal grand jury today for illegally reentering the United States.

Luis Arnold Lopez-Lara, 25, a citizen of Honduras residing in Brookline, Mo., was charged in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Springfield, Mo.
