NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A judge has sentenced a Queens man to 60 days in jail for stalking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Douala Hashi was handed the two-month sentence Friday after pleading guilty to criminal contempt, according to the Daily News. He was being held at the Vernon C. Bain Center jail in the Bronx Sunday.
A spokesperson from the Queens DA told the Daily News that a full order of protection was also issued against Hashi.
The 31-year-old has been arrested multiple times for showing up at AOC’s office building in Jackson Heights, even after he was ordered to keep away by a judge.
He was first charged with criminal mischief back on June 15 after spraying a fire extinguisher and hiding in a closet during a confrontation with police at the building.
He was arrested again on June 26 and charged with stalking after he showed up three more times and became “violent” when he wasn’t allowed to speak with the congresswoman, according to the Daily News.
