A right-wing activist best known for brawling in the streets of Portland amid political protests was sentenced Thursday to 10 days in jail by a Multnomah County judge.

Tusitala “Tiny” Toese violated his probation on a harassment conviction stemming from a fight at a December 2017 demonstration, Circuit Judge Katharine von Ter Stegge ruled.

Prosecutor Nathan Vasquez had asked the court to revoke Toese’s probation and sentence him to six months behind bars, claiming the defendant failed to complete a required 40 hours of community service.

Toese’s lawyer, Sean Lo, said his client had volunteered at a church and a non-profit but had failed to obtain the paperwork showing he had done so.

“I can see no proof that your client has done his community service,” said von Ter Stegge, who later decided that Toese would serve 10 days in jail.

The judge ordered Toese, who wore a blue dress shirt, tie and vest, to turn himself in to Multnomah County authorities on Friday morning.

“It’s way better than 90 days,” Toese told a group of supporters, including a handful of fellow Proud Boys, after the court hearing. He declined to speak with The Oregonian/OregonLive.

A 23-year-old Vancouver resident, Toese gained notoriety as a member of the right-wing groups Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys. He served as Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson’s right-hand man until the duo had a falling out.

Authorities earlier this month arrested him at the Portland International Airport on a pair of outstanding warrant charges, one of them tied to a separate felony assault charge he faces in Multnomah County.

Toese and Donovan Flippo, another Proud Boy, were accused of beating up a man during a June 2018 confrontation in Northeast Portland.

Toese left to his hometown in American Samoa after a grand jury indicted the pair in February. He was returning to the United States mainland when he was arrested Oct. 4 at the airport.

Flippo pleaded guilty to fourth-degree assault earlier this year.
