(KNZA)--A Beatrice, Nebraska man arrested earlier this month in Brown County for driving under the influence has been turned over to the custody of the Department of Homeland Security.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, in a release, said a Sheriff's deputy on routine patrol during the early evening of September 6th stopped a vehicle on US 75 Highway near the U.S. 36 interchange for a speeding violation.
Upon contact with the driver, identified as 40-year-old Giesic Centeno, an odor of an alcoholic beverage was detected and he did not possess a valid drivers license.
The deputy performed field sobriety testing, which he failed.
Based on 3 prior DUI convictions, Centeno was arrested on charges of felony DUI and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license.
Merchant said it was discovered that Centeno was subject to be deported.
On September 9th, Department of Homeland Security agents took custody of Centeno.
