(Dec. 3, 2025 / JNS)
A man from Montauk on Long Island, N.Y., who admitted to spray-painting swastikas and antisemitic messages such as “Jews die” and “Jews burn” across the village from Oct. to Dec. 2023, was sentenced on Nov. 14 to five days in jail. The New York Post, however, is reporting that he served no time at all.
Michael Nicholoulias, 75, pleaded guilty to two felony hate crimes.
On the day he was arrested and held in custody, he apparently received “good behavior” credit. And because the sentencing occurred on a Friday, a county jail-time rule effectively erased the remaining days.
Nicholoulias, caught by police while spray-painting a swastika on a bench, told the court he intentionally targeted Jewish-owned properties.
