Yesterday in Boston, a federal judge sentenced Logan David Patterson, 19, of Plymouth, and Dominick Frank Cardoza, 21, of Bourne, to three years of probation.
The judge also ordered the men to pay restitution of $28,517 to Harvard Medical School.
Patterson and Cardoza allegedly broke into a Harvard lab on Halloween night, lit fireworks, and detonated a large commercial firework inside a research lab, causing a fire alarm and damage to the fourth floor.
Surveillance footage shows them climbing fences, visiting the fifth floor, discarding clothing, and fleeing to a nearby campus.
Police arrested both men shortly after the incident. In April 2026, they pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to damage, by means of an explosive.
