TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man who carved a swastika into the lawn of a family he had harassed has been sentenced to 15 months in prison.
Scott Cooney of Lakewood was sentenced Friday. He had pleaded guilty in June to bias intimidation.
The judge said Cooney had written threatening and bias letters to the victims despite an order not to have contact with them.
