Michigan Man Gets 6-Year Sentence for Plot to Kidnap Gov. Whitmer
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Michigan, 25-year-old Ty Garbin was sentenced Wednesday to six years
in prison for his role in plotting to kidnap Michigan Democratic
Governor Gretchen Whitmer last year. Garbin was the first of 14 men
arrested over the plot to be sentenced, and received a reduced penalty
after he agreed to cooperate with federal investigators.
