The Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Vermont announced that Emile Parker, 29, a naturalized Canadian citizen, was sentenced yesterday in United States District Court in Rutland to time served following his guilty plea to a charge that he made false statements to immigration officials. U.S. District Judge J. Garvan Murtha also ordered that Parker serve a two-year term of supervised release. Parker has spent approximately 8½ months in custody and will be immediately deported.
According to court records, Parker was deported from the United States on August 1, 2008 after he flew into Miami (Florida) International Airport on a flight from Santo Domingo. Parker’s deportation was based on his prior criminal record in Florida. After being deported, Parker was prohibited by law from attempting to reenter the United States without the permission of the U.S. Attorney General.
Parker was deported from Miami to Canada. On August 3, 2008, Border Patrol agents encountered Parker at a store near Highgate. Parker initially made false statements to agents about his identity and falsely denied having just reentered the United States from Canada. When agents ascertained his true identity, Parker was arrested.
Parker is represented by Brad Stetler. The prosecutor is Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Waples.
