Appearing in Portsmouth District Court for sentencing on Nov. 25, Alan Hall, 27, formerly of 100 Ledgewood Drive, petitioned the court to perform his 75 hours of community service in his new community of Manchester. That request was denied by Judge Sawako Gardner, who agreed to allow him to split the 75 hours between Portsmouth and Manchester.
“Some of it has to be done down here,” said the judge. “The vandalism was done in this community.”
Prosecutor Corey MacDonald told the court that while three of seven charges against Hall were dropped in exchange for his guilty pleas, the restitution will reimburse all seven property owners for the cost to remove the graffiti from their buildings.
Hall was sentenced to six months in the Rockingham County House of Corrections and fined $2,000, with all of it suspended pending his good behavior for two years. He is court-ordered to pay the restitution within 30 days and to provide proof to the court that the community service was completed.
Hall pleaded guilty to four class A misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief, admitting he spray painted graffiti on the city’s high school and six pieces of private property. As part of a plea agreement, one of the charges was reduced from a felony.
