TUCSON, Ariz. — A Tucson man was sentenced to 33 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, after pleading guilty to Transportation of Illegal Aliens for Profit.
70-year-old Michael Ortiz also was sentenced to 12 months of consecutive imprisonment for violating conditions of his federal supervised release.
