A man who returned to Shelbyville after being deported is headed back into federal custody, city police say.

Roberto Javilar Ramirez, 46, of Bethany Lane has pleaded guilty to violating the sex offender registry and was sentenced to time served -- around 120 days, according to Shelbyville Det. Sgt. Brian Crews.

But Ramirez will be returning to the Coffee County Jail to serve the remainder of his term for violating probation there, before being transferred to federal custody.

Crews explained that federal authorities had a warrant for Ramirez for illegal re-entry into the country.

Ramirez was arrested earlier this year for violating the registry after he returned to Bedford County following his deportation.

He had been convicted in Coffee County in October 2009 for aggravated statutory rape involving a 15-year-old girl and was deported in January after only serving three months of a four-year sentence.

However, Ramirez reappeared in Shelbyville in February and never reported to Bedford County authorities that he was living here, which is required by the sex offender law.

When police found Ramirez, he was living in a room at Budget Motel on Madison Street across the street from Casa Mexicana, where he is listed as a co-owner.

But the restaurant and motel are also a block away from a large day care center on Bethany Lane, which would have been a violation of sex offender registry.

Tennessee sexual offender records list a Roberto Ramirez Ramirez, also known as Roberto Ramirez Avila and Roberto Ramirez Ramirez-Avila, of a Manchester address and bearing the same birth date as the suspect as having registered with the state registry Dec. 21, 2009.
