Jevons Brown, 58, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mailing injurious articles last summer and has now been sentenced to two years probation.

In all, Brown mailed at least 20 packages, according to U.S. postal inspectors.

Because Brown had an insignificant criminal history and because he recently did get a job, he was given probation instead of what could have been six months behind bars.
