All three men involved in a hate crime in Linda in 2011 have been sentenced to prison.
Anthony Merrell Tyler, 34, of Yuba City, was sentenced Tuesday to serve three years and ten months in prison for a racially-motivated assault on a white man and African-American woman in a Linda convenient store parking lot.
He and two co-defendants, Billy Hammett, 30, and Perry Jackson, 29, were convicted of a federal hate crime.
Hammett was sentenced in March to seven years and three months in prison. Jackson was sentenced in April to five years, 10 months in prison.
All three men have tattoos that read "white pride" or "white power" on their bodies, and Tyler previously admitted to being a member of the Yuba County Peckerwoods, a local white supremacist group, according to a statement from the Department of Justice.
The victims were attacked around 10:45 p.m. April 18, 2011. The woman was kicked in the chest before she escaped, and the man was punched and then attacked by all three men. Their car windshield was smashed by a crowbar as the men yelled racial slurs, according to Appeal-Democrat archives.
