Washington (CNN) A man was sentenced on Wednesday to more than six years in federal prison after pleading guilty to participating in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Ty Garbin, one of six defendants in the federal case surrounding the alleged plot, pleaded guilty in January to a kidnapping conspiracy charge, cooperating significantly with federal prosecutors against his co-defendants. Prosecutors had asked the federal judge to sentence Garbin to around nine years, praising him for his cooperation. "It's hard to overstate how significant Mr. Garbin's cooperation was here," a federal prosecutor told the court. In addition to those charged in federal court, several other people were charged in the case by the state.
