Suzanne Craft, 54, vandalized two homes in the Lake Forest neighborhood with threatening and racially targeted messages between November and December 2020.
One family said she had spray-painted swastikas on their driveway. They said there were also instances where they would come home to their grass burned and driveway egged.
In March, Craft was found guilty of five counts of mailing threatening communications with racial intent.
“This sentence sends a clear message regarding our commitment to ending hate-motivated violence and threats of violence,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

Craft’s nine-year sentence will be followed by three years of supervised release.
