JACKSON COUNTY, Mich. — Three members of a militia group who were convicted of several crimes in relation to a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer were given yearslong prison sentences Thursday.
The three men -- Pete Musico, Joseph Morrison and Paul Bellar -- were convicted in October of providing material support for a terrorist act, the most serious charge, as well as firearms charges and membership in a gang. The charge of support for a terrorist act carried a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Paul Bellar, 23, received at least seven years in prison. He was given two five-year prison sentences each for support of a terrorist act and gang membership, but will serve them concurrently. He will then serve a two-year sentence for the weapons charge. On the group's Facebook page, Bellar"advocated for Governor Whitmer being 'dragged to the streets and hung' and threatened to toss a Molotov cocktail at her home after the Governor extended shutdown orders related to the COVID pandemic," according to prosecutors. Musico allegedly discussed finding the addresses of police officers and killing them and attacking politicians, including Whitmer, in their home, according to prosecutors.
