Six Men Indicted in Alleged Plot to Kidnap Michigan Governor

VOA News

   Six men were charged Thursday with conspiring to kidnap Michigan
   Governor Gretchen Whitmer in an alleged plot by right-wing extremists
   who were angry over her coronavirus containment policies.

   A federal grand jury levied a conspiracy indictment against Michigan
   residents Adam Fox, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon
   Michael-Ray Caserta, and Barry Croft Jr. of Delaware.

   U.S. Attorney Andrew Birge said in a statement the charge carries a
   maximum penalty of life in prison.

   The suspects were arrested in October after an FBI probe into alleged
   plans to kidnap Whitmer at her vacation home in northern Michigan.
