An Arizona man has been sentenced to 16 months behind bars, followed by three years of supervised release, for his role in a plot by a Neo-Nazi group to threaten and harass journalists and advocates who expose anti-Semitism, the Justice Department said.

Johnny Roman Garza, a 21-year-old member of Atomwaffen Division, which the Department of Justice (DOJ), the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (pdf), and other organizations identify as a Neo-Nazi group, was sentenced on Dec. 9 for his role in the plot, DOJ said a statement.
