(South Bend, IN) - The third time was not a charm for an illegal immigrant who has been deported multiple times.

This week 41-year-old Jonathan Medina-Flores, of Mexico, was sentenced in South Bend’s U.S District Court to a little over three years in prison after his third return to the area.

According to court documents, Medina-Flores, was previously convicted in St. Joseph County in 2006 for felony possession of cocaine. Following an initial deportation, he returned in 2014 and again in 2015. He was picked up by authorities in St. Joseph County last May. Authorities say Medina-Flores has a criminal history including convictions for multiple felonies in St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties.

Now he’ll be spending the next 40 months in federal prison.
