Federal prosecutors Wednesday filed weapon of mass destruction charges against three men accused of plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a crime that could result in a longer prison sentence if the men are convicted.

The new charges against Potterville resident Adam Fox, 38, Delaware resident Barry Croft, 45, and Daniel Harris, 23, of Lake Orion comes six months after the FBI said agents thwarted a plot to kidnap and kill Whitmer — a conspiracy that included visits to her home in northern Michigan and training with firearms and explosive devices. Each man faces one weapon of mass destruction charge.

These are the men charged with planning to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
In all, 14 people have been charged in state and federal court. One person, Ty Garbin, 25, of Hartland Township, has pleaded guilty and is expected to testify against the others.

The superseding indictment alleges the trio planned to use bombs to facilitate the kidnapping plot. The destructive devices were intended to harm and hinder the governor's security detail and any responding law enforcement personnel.

“This may be the kind of thing prosecutors are adding on as pressure in hopes that this, on top of all the other charges, will lead to quicker negotiations in the plea process,” said Jon Lewis, a research fellow at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University.
