PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Acting United States Attorney Sara Miron Bloom said a Venezuelan man living in the country illegally was sentenced after he resisted arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deportation Officers in February.

23-year-old Edward Antonio Reyes Calderon struggled with officers who tried arresting him, which caused one officer to use pepper spray.

Two of the officers suffered minor injuries from the incident.

Calderon was sentenced to five months time served and was in custody awaiting deportation proceedings.
