             Mexican Court Frees Ex-US Marine Jailed on Gun Charges

   by VOA News

   A Mexican court has ordered a former U.S. Marine jailed for bringing
   guns into the country freed from prison.

   Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi has been behind bars since March.

   A doctor who examined him determined he needs treatment in the U.S. for
   post traumatic stress syndrome, which he developed after serving in
   Afghanistan.

   Mexican border agents arrested him in March after finding three guns in
   his truck after he crossed the border from San Diego, California into
   Tijuana.

   Tahmooressi said he crossed into Mexico accidentally after getting
   caught on a California freeway with no way to turn back from the
   border.

   Mexican police say he entered the country deliberately.

   Bringing guns into Mexico is a federal offense.
