A 34-year-old Connecticut artist and confessed mailer of anti-Semitic material was under concurrent two and three-year terms of probation today after paying fines totaling $700 for his two-year hate campaign.
Alan S. Moyler had previously pleaded guilty in Westport, Connecticut court and in the United States District court here to a variety of charges growing out of his sending hate material to Jews in the Westport-Weston area. The mail included dead rats and bats. It took postal authorities, Connecticut police and local officials more than two years to track the artist down.
Moyler told Federal Judge Robert P. Anderson he was sorry for what he had done; Judge Anderson suspended imposition of sentence for his Federal offenses and placed the artist on three years’ probation.
In Norwalk Circuit court, Judge George Wise fined him $700 on four charges, suspended a jail sentence totaling 210 days and placed him on two years’ probation; The charges included five counts of breach of the peace, one count of willful injury to public property and six counts of willful injury to private property.
