An Anchorage man was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison this week for drug trafficking and placing swastika stickers at numerous locations across the city in 2021.
The distinct stickers were emblazoned with the words “WE ARE EVERYWHERE.” The stickers also appeared on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus, at Planned Parenthood, at a bank, on an electrical box and on a vehicle, according to a sentencing memorandum filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney James Klugman. The stickers reappeared at the Alaska Jewish Museum in September, and a swastika was carved into the door, the memorandum said.
Foster was arrested on the federal drug trafficking charges in November 2021, and two misdemeanor charges of damage to religious property were added this April. He pleaded guilty to distribution of controlled substances and the two property damage charges in April. The hate crimes were especially harmful to Anchorage because they “sowed fear and distrust far beyond the physical damage caused,” Klugman wrote in the memorandum. The federal public defender representing Foster could not immediately be reached Wednesday.Tess Williams is a reporter focusing on breaking news and public safety.
