A man indicted for threatening his Black neighbors with a noose in Texas will spend time in prison, a judge said Wednesday. However, he received a lenient sentence for the federal hate crime. Glenn Eugene Halfin, 64, of Grapevine, will serve a one-year sentence. Halfin, a retired firefighter, was arrested in January by Grapevine police and charged with stalking. He later pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge of interfering with an African-American family’s housing rights in July. He had taunted his neighbors — Dante Petty, 28, his wife and their young daughter — by hanging a Black baby doll using a noose outside of their apartment last December.
