Los Angeles, CA - A man was sentenced to nine months in jail for pasting swastikas on the entrance of City Councilman Jack Weiss' San Fernando Valley office.
Adonis Irwin, 32, also received three years probation after pleading no contest to vandalism, posting a swastika on private property and a hate crime charge, said city attorney's spokesman Jonathan Diamond.
He was ordered to undergo psychological counseling and to stay away from Weiss and his official offices, Diamond said.
Irwin was arrested May 4, a day after three red-and-black swastikas printed on paper were found glued to the doors of the Jewish councilman's field office. A note with anti-Semitic messages and the phrase "Heil Weiss" also was left, authorities said.
The councilman's office had previously reported that Adonis disturbed staffers at that office.
Police later obtained a search warrant for Irwin's home and found evidence that they said linked him to the crime. [mercurynews]
