A smuggler who crashed through the Pine Valley checkpoint and seriously injured a U.S. Border Patrol agent has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison.
The 2 1/2 year sentence was handed down to Jorge Garcia-Osornio, 28, by U.S. District Court judge in San Diego last month.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Colin McDonald recommended a 5-year prison term while his attorney, Sandra Hourani urged a 2-year sentence.
