Vt. man with lengthy criminal history sentenced for domestic assault
BENNINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A Bennington man with a lengthy criminal history was sentenced on Monday on aggravated domestic assault charges.
Max Misch, the once self-described white nationalist who has made headlines before for hate crime and gun charges, will spend six months in jail with credit for time served and two years on probation for domestic assault.
He pleaded guilty to the charge last month after authorities said he admitted to hitting a woman he knew.
His conditions of probation include avoiding contact with his victim and not possessing any deadly weapons.
