Last week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that it arrested an illegal alien from Jamaica in Basking Ridge, New Jersey (Somerset County) with an extremely disturbing history.
“In a collaborated effort, ICE arrested Richard Alfanso Smith, a citizen of Jamaica who has more than 15 criminal arrests with his convictions,” announced ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Newark Field Office Director John Tsoukaris. “His extensive track record of arrests, convictions and imprisonments is not compliant with our nation’s immigration laws. We are grateful for the resources our law enforcement partners were able to pool together quickly in real time to ensure the target was apprehended.”
ICE provided a partial list of Smith’s past transgressions:
Smith’s criminal history began when he was convicted of assault, burglary, harassment and disorderly conduct in May 1996.
Smith was sentenced to four years in June 1999, for aggravated assault and resisting arrest and, during the same month, was sentenced to another four years for manufacture, distribution, and possession with intent to distribute heroin.
He was convicted October 8, 2002, for possession of marijuana and sentenced to 36 days imprisonment.
Smith was sentenced March 5, 2004, for assault and possession of a controlled dangerous substance and ordered to four years’ imprisonment.
He was sentenced March 17, 2006, to six years for aggravated assault and unlawful possession of weapon.
Smith was convicted April 25, 2014, for resisting arrest and assessed a fine.
