Earth Liberation Front terrorist Jacob Sherman was sentenced to more than three years in prison this month after he plead guilty to the 2001 firebombing of logging trucks and logging equipment in Oregon.
Those fires did $50,000 in damage at Ray A. Schopper Logging and $210,000 in damage at Ross Island Sand & Gravel.
Although the maximum possible sentence was 40 years, the judge in the case was apparently lenient due to Sherman’s cooperation with authorities after his arrest. According to court documents, Sherman began cooperating immediately with authorities and identified Michael Scarpitti aka Tre Arrow as being the ringleader of the group responsible for the arsons.
Scarpitti is currently a fugitive.
