McALLEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A trucker who transported more than 900 stolen televisions was sentenced to one year and one day in prison Tuesday.

Gurvinder Singh — a trucker from India who sought asylum in the United States — participated in a conspiracy to steal truckloads of TVs from Walmart.

“I have made a mistake,” Singh said on Tuesday morning, when he appeared in court for sentencing. “For which I ask for forgiveness.”

When, exactly, Singh entered the United States remains unclear.
