DOVER — Convicted hostage taker Leeland Eisenberg was sent back to prison for 3 1⁄2-to-7-years on Thursday for a February probation violation where he went on a 24-hour drug and alcohol bender.
Eisenberg took the stand in his own defense during the probation violation hearing and pointed the finger at officials with Strafford County Community Corrections for his current predicament. He said they wanted him to fail. (snip)
The 3 1⁄2-to-7-year prison sentence is a suspended sentence that stems from the November 2007 incident where Eisenberg strapped road flares to his chest and entered the downtown Rochester campaign office of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and took campaign workers hostage.
Since being released last November for that incident, Eisenberg has six probation violations on his record.
