CONCORD, N.H. — A man who took hostages at one of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign offices in 2007 was released from state prison yesterday.
Leeland Eisenberg had pleaded guilty to seven felonies and one misdemeanor last year for taking six people hostage using fake explosives at Clinton’s office in Rochester on Nov. 30, 2007. He was arrested after an hours-long standoff in which no one was hurt.
Eisenberg was originally sentenced to three years, but his sentence was cut short for good behavior.
He will be on probation for five years. In the first year, he will have to wear a global positioning system bracelet and use a breath-testing system for alcohol.
Eisenberg will be under a curfew. He must live in Strafford County but is not allowed to live in Rochester because one of the hostages lives there.
