GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A man upset over state-ordered coronavirus restrictions was sentenced to just over six years in prison Wednesday for planning to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a significant break that reflected his quick decision to cooperate and help agents build cases against others.
Ty Garbin admitted his role in the alleged scheme weeks after his arrest last fall. He is among six men charged in federal court but the only one to plead guilty so far. It was a key victory for prosecutors as they try to prove an astonishing plot against the rest.
Garbin apologized to Whitmer, who was not in court, and her family.
“I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of stress and fear her family felt because of my actions. And for that I am truly sorry,” the 25-year-old aviation mechanic told the judge.
In his plea agreement, Garbin said the six men trained at his property near Luther, Michigan, constructing a “shoot house” to resemble Whitmer’s vacation home and “assaulting it with firearms.”
The government, noting Garbin’s exceptional cooperation, asked U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker to give him credit for helping investigators reinforce their case against his co-defendants.

It’s victory to get six years for a false flag?
Was the defendant an FIB stooge?
Kidnapping is a dumb move; she could’a just had an “accident”.
Most likely.🤔
So jurors believed the FBI testimony? Interesting.
Entrapment!
The problem is, he failed.
Is this the plan facilitated by the wife-beating FBI guy?
That was staged by the FBI
This is the one guy who was NOT an FBI undercover agent or informer.
It would downright ironic if after only a few months he got out of prison via a “Covid” mass-release.
When will democrats get prosecuted for their criminal activity?
Yes!
