Nevada man deported to Mexico for being fake doctor

A Nevada man who pleaded guilty to performing cosmetic surgery without a medical license has been sentenced to up to four years in prison, but the judge suspended that time so he can be deported to Mexico immediately.

Edgar Orozco-Abundis of Sparks earlier admitted he was in the country illegally.

KOLO-TV reports Washoe District Judge David Hardy sentenced him Tuesday and told him never to come back to the United States.

Orozco-Abundis was accused of targeting illegal immigrants who were looking for nose jobs, stomach staplings and other cosmetic surgery. Police say three victims were not seriously injured by the medical work.

Orozco-Abundis told police he was a licensed medical doctor in Mexico, but prosecutors said that was not true.
