A New Hampshire man was sentenced to more than two years in prison for his role in the harassment and intimidation of New Hampshire Public Radio journalists whose homes were vandalized after the radio station published a story that was critical of a local businessman.
The man, Tucker Cockerline, 33, of Salem, N.H., was sentenced on Aug. 27 in federal court in Boston to 27 months in prison and three years of supervised release, the U.S. attorney’s office for Massachusetts said on Thursday.
Mr. Cockerline was part of a group of men who spray-painted vulgar and threatening language on the homes of a reporter, her parents and her editor, prosecutors said. The men also threw rocks and bricks through the windows of some of the homes.
Three other men — Eric Labarge, Michael Waselchuck and Keenan Saniatan — have been indicted in connection to the harassment.
