A man opposed to the war in Iraq will spend the next five years in federal prison for throwing a Molotov cocktail through the window of a local armed forces recruiting station in Vestal, NY, near Binghamton. After serving 5 years behind bars, Brendan Walsh of Endwell, will be supervised for 3 years.
He was recently sentenced in Federal Court.
Walsh had pleaded guilty to a charge of attempting to damage or destroy a building by arson.
In April of 2003, he threw a Molotov cocktail through the window of the recruiting station on the Vestal Parkway. He was also charged with attempted destruction of communication lines utilized by the U.S. Armed Forces, which carried a maximum sentence of 10 years. Detectives say Broome Security's work with surveillance video was crucial in their investigation.
Walsh is also responsible for smashing the window of the recruitment center in June of last year.
Brendan Walsh is a hero and deserves support. If anyone has or can find an address for him please post it here.
