Maryland man pleads guilty in Palm Beach County antisemitic flyers case

A man accused of tossing antisemitic flyers onto Palm Beach County properties earlier this year pleaded guilty Tuesday to three criminal charges.

Nicholas Byshiem, 33, of Maryland pleaded guilty to a charge of resisting arrest without violence in the city of Atlantis for an incident in January, as well as misdemeanor charges of dumping litter and attempting to commit dumping of litter from March incidents in West Palm Beach.

After his arrest, Byshiem said he was expressing his First Amendment rights.

After his plea, a judge sentenced Bysheim to 12 months probation.

The Palm Beach County state attorney’s office said they sought a punishment of 364 days in the Palm Beach County jail. If Bysheim is charged with littering or any law violations during probation, prosecutors said he could face up to a year in jail.
