A Delaware man accused of co-leading a failed plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) was sentenced to 19 years in prison on Wednesday.
Michigan Judge Robert Jonker described Barry Croft Jr., 47, as the “idea guy” behind the kidnapping scheme.
The sentence for Croft comes a day after the plot’s co-leader Adam Fox was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Both men were convicted in August on conspiracy charges, with prosecutors saying they led six other men associated with a militia group called Wolverine Watchmen to kidnap Whitmer before the 2020 election.
