Two men facing charges for an alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will remain tethered as part of the conditions of bond set by the Court, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Wednesday.
Judge Michael Stepka of the 86th District Court in Grand Traverse County ruled that GPS tethers must remain in effect for Wolverine Watchmen defendants Michael and William Null.
“These men were allegedly part of a complex plot to kidnap and harm the governor. The severity of these crimes and the disregard the defendants display for our institutions of government, warrant close monitoring by the courts,” said Nessel.
The Null brothers are charged as follows:
Michael Null, 38, of Plainwell:
• Providing material support for terrorist acts – a 20-year felony and/or $20,000 fine.
• Carrying or possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony; felony firearm – a two-year mandatory prison sentence to
be served consecutively.
William Null, 38, of Shelbyville:
• Providing material support for terrorist acts – a 20-year felony and/or $20,000 fine.
• Carrying or possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony; felony firearm – a two-year mandatory prison sentence to
be served consecutively.
Stepka indicated he would rescind the curfew and house arrest portion of the bond condition while maintaining GPS monitoring.
