Wisconsin Man Held In Plot Against Michigan Governor Stays Here – For Now

The Wisconsin man being held for his role in the plot against Michigan’s governor will stay in this state – for now.  Thirty-one-year-old Brian Higgins of Wisconsin Dells has a hearing scheduled in Columbia County Circuit Court this (Monday) afternoon.  He’s one of 14 men who have been arrested.  Higgins is accused of being part of a group planning to storm the Michigan Capitol and kidnap several officials, including  Governor Gretchen Whitmer.  If he is found guilty, Higgins could be sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.  Today’s hearing will lay the groundwork for his extradition.
