MMA fighter sentenced for Olympia vandalism

Mixed martial arts fighter Jeff Monson was sentenced to 90 days of work release for spray-painting anti-war graffiti on the Capitol in Olympia and an armed services recruitment center in Lacey.

OLYMPIA, Wash. —

Mixed martial arts fighter Jeff Monson was sentenced to 90 days of work release for spray-painting anti-war graffiti on the Capitol in Olympia and an armed services recruitment center in Lacey.

Work release will allow the 38-year-old Olympia man to help pay off $22,000 in restitution he was ordered to pay at Thursday's sentencing in Thurston County Superior Court. He pleaded guilty in July to malicious mischief.

Monson told The Olympian he hopes that spraying the anarchist symbol and the words "no war" last year raised consciousness of the illegality of the Iraq war.

Monson was charged after a picture of him and the graffiti was published in ESPN The Magazine.
