Ya Ya Returns Home as A Deportee
posted (May 12, 2009)

She’s been a long time coming, but 42 year old Ya-Ya Marin Coleman is back in Belize. 7News confirmed that Marin Coleman arrived in the country this morning. And while it’s a welcome homecoming – it’s not under ideal circumstances as Ya-Ya returned home as a deportee.

As we’ve reported, Ya Ya who carries a British passport was taken off the plane by federal agents on November 29th in North Carolina. She was on her way to New York where she was to have attended a conference.

In February she was convicted of immigration fraud and voting in a U.S. election. She was sentenced to six months but the judge offered her an early release for time served. Still, it took three more months for her to come home – and that’s where she is tonight. We were unable to speak with Ya Ya about her future plans.
