ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) A man who sent anthrax hoax letters to federal offices and courts in New York and Connecticut has been sentenced to time served, more than than two years in jail.
Joseph Pantone, 36, was sentenced in Albany federal court on Monday for sending envelopes containing white powder and a note that read “anthrax” to more than a dozen government offices in February 2019.
The letters, which were sent to locations including Social Security Administration Offices and U.S. District Court offices in Albany and Syracuse, New York and Hartford and Torrington, Connecticut, did not contain anthrax or any hazardous material.
