DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- A man implicated in an immigration scam at a Marshalltown meatpacking plant has pleaded guilty to harboring an illegal immigrant, according to the U.S. attorney's office.
Christopher Lamb, a human resources manager at Swift & Co., was arrested last summer after authorities recorded him coaching an illegal immigrant on how to use fake documents to get hired.
The worker Lamb allegedly coached, Alejandro Vasquez-Avina, was among those arrested during a raid on the Swift plant in December 2006.
In his plea, Lamb also admitted hiding an illegal immigrant at the plant from June 3 to June 25.
Lamb has been sentenced to 12 months of probation.
