Adam Fox was found guilty of kidnapping conspiracy and conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction. Barry Croft Jr. was convicted of the same charges—and possession of an unregistered destructive device.
Two other alleged conspirators, Ty Garbin and Kaleb Franks, previously pleaded guilty to federal kidnapping conspiracy and testified on behalf of the government in both trials. Ten other individuals accused in the plot are still facing state charges.
Prosecutors say the group, which included militia members and self-described patriots, spent months in 2020 hatching the violent plan after Whitmer locked down the state in an effort to mitigate the pandemic. The plot allegedly included plans to kidnap Whitmer, detonate a bridge to prevent cops from rescuing her, and even leave her stranded on a boat in the middle of Lake Michigan.
Fox—whom prosecutors described as one of the plot’s ringleaders—and Croft were said to be affiliated with the “Three Percenter” far-right, anti-government movement. The group name is a reference to the false notion that only a tiny fraction of residents of the 13 colonies fought in the American Revolution. Several current or former adherents to the bogus worldview were charged with conspiracy over the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
