Paul Bellar, Joseph Morrison, and Pete Musico were sentenced Thursday for their involvement in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The three men were convicted of providing material support for the kidnapping attempt in October.

The trio were all members of the Wolverine Watchmen militia group. They were among seven other men charged by Michigan’s attorney general for allegedly helping to plan the overthrow of the state government. The plot was partially in response to Whitmer’s implementation of statewide lockdowns meant to counter the COVID-19 pandemic.
