Ohio Man Fined for Antisemitic Flyers in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh police have identified Jeremy Brokaw, 45, of Zanesville, Ohio, as the suspect responsible for distributing antisemitic flyers in Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, and Peters Township. Authorities issued Brokaw over 160 traffic citations for littering and illegal distribution of materials from a vehicle, totaling approximately $48,000 in fines. The flyers, linked to the white supremacist Goyim Defense League, were thrown from a moving car in plastic bags weighted with corn kernels, sometimes accompanied by shouted slurs. Police and the district attorney determined the act, though hateful, did not meet criteria for criminal threat charges. The incident is part of a broader increase in antisemitic activity in Pittsburgh this year and has been strongly condemned by officials and Jewish organizations. The FBI and local police continue to investigate the group's wider activities.
