Mays Landing, NJ - Man Pleads Guilty To Defacing Synagogue

Mays Landing, NJ - A 19-year-old man will probably have to pay more than $1,000 and serve several hundred hours of community service after pleading guilty to defacing Hammonton's synagogue with swastikas last October.

Collings Lake resident Eddie Baker, 19, pleaded guilty before Atlantic County Superior Court Judge Michael A. Donio. He will be sentenced July 28. Baker was charged with vandalism and a bias crime after the Oct. 25 and 27 incidents.

Baker, who is unemployed, said in court that he was alone and knew that a swastika would be hurtful to a synagogue. But when questioned by Donio, he repeatedly said he didn't know why he defaced the synagogue or what he was thinking at the time.
