PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Sheriff's office, under the watch of Sheriff Arpaio, mistakenly deported an undocumented immigrant facing burglary charges.

Twenty-eight-year-old Luis Garcia-Villegas was offered by law enforcement officials voluntary deportation to Mexico, after he, along with another man and a 17-year-old were arrested by police for burglarizing the South Phoenix furniture store, La Bodega.

Maricopa County officials said they were unaware of the charges against Garcia-Villegas however crime victim Antonio Casillas was infuriated that such a mistake was made.

Officials were reported to be working on finding Garcia-Villegas and returning him.
