According to Justia.com, Guerrier was deported from the United States back to Haiti in May 1999. He was arrested again in the United States in November 2002 and was indicted about five months later. Guerrier was later convicted but appealed stating that he had evidence that his deceased biological father was a citizen. In 2004, he was unable to satisfy all the legal requirements proving that he had dual citizenship based on this birth information, according to the site. He pleaded guilty and was given a sentence of more than two years, due to prior convictions of aggravated felonies. In May 2005, he alleged violated the terms of his release and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Guerrier was last known to live in the Manchester area where he has family, friends, and associates throughout the area.
