Friends,

Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Charles Wittenberg sentenced me this morning for the two felonies I was convicted of last month for spraypainting “TROOPS OUT NOW!” on a highway overpass near Toledo. Here’s the “box score,” as they say in baseball:

18 months probation

Court costs, plus cost of prosecution
