A man who possessed a fraudulent permanent resident card was sentenced Wednesday to almost three months in federal prison.

27-year-old Rodolfo Duran-Matul, a citizen of Guatemala, residing in Belmond, received the prison term after an October 8th guilty plea to one count of unlawful possession of an identification document.

In a plea agreement, Duran-Matul admitted that he had previously been deported from the United States and illegally reentered the U-S without permission of the United States government.  He was previously deported in August 2018.

Duran-Matul also admitted that in August of this year, he possessed a fraudulent permanent resident card bearing his name and photograph.  The number on the card was assigned to someone else.
