LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Three members of the Wolverine Watchmen militia group, accused in an alleged plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer, are facing new charges, according to a report from WWMT Wednesday.
The report says the three members will now face new federal charges of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, as well as federal firearm charges.
The three members are listed as follows:
- Barry Croft Jr., 45 (Bear, Delaware)
- Daniel Joseph Harris, 23 (Lake Orion, MI)
- Adam Fox, 40 (Wyoming, MI)
The three are facing these charges due to alleged plans to destroy a bridge near Governor Whitmer’s vacation home, which would ensure law enforcement wouldn’t be able to cross.
Should the participants be convicted of kidnapping and conspiracy charges, they could face life in prison.
