An illegal immigrant who was being chased when a Nassau County sheriff’s deputy was hit and killed by an SUV told a federal judge Monday he wants to plead guilty to re-entering the country illegally.
Francisco Portillo-Fuentes, 26, a Salvadoran, could theoretically face up to two years in prison.
Portillo-Fuentes was arrested in Jacksonville about 12 hours after Nassau Deputy Eric Oliver was hit as he ran across Florida 200 in Yulee last week.
