Ecuadoran National Living In Danbury Charged With Illegal Reentry

DANBURY, CT — An Ecuadoran national residing in Danbury has been indicted on charges that he illegally reentered the United States, according to Vanessa Roberts Avery, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut. Luis Salto Saico, 47, has pleaded not guilty to one count of illegally reentering the U.S. after being deported.

Saico was arrested in 2006 in Columbus, OH, for aggravated vehicular assault, according to prosecutors. He pleaded guilty in Ohio state court to that charge and to one count of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

After serving about eight months in prison, he was removed to Ecuador in July 2008.

If convicted of illegal reentry, Saico faces a maximum prison term of 10 years.
