McALLEN — A Mexican national who lied on federal firearms forms in order to sneak weapons into Mexico was handed a 27-month prison sentence, records show.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Randy Crane sentenced Jose Omar Garza to more than two years in prison for his role in a scheme to smuggle firearms into Mexico from the United States, according to a criminal complaint filed in June.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers notified agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in June of Garza’s attempt to enter the U.S. at the Falcon Dam port of entry, the complaint stated. This led to Garza’s arrest.
