Brian Higgins, 54, of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, will return to court to change his not-guilty plea. Higgins is accused of aiding in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Higgins trained with members of the conspiracy at a"kill house" in a remote hunting area, according to evidence. On that same weekend, in September 2020, he drove with others to scout Whitmer's vacation home in Elk Rapids. She wasn't there at the time.
Despite some confusion over the address,"Higgins drove by the governor’s residence and recorded it on the dashcam of his vehicle," prosecutors said in a court filing. "Higgins noted that he had seen some apartments nearby the governor’s residence and suggested that they could rent some of them as a safehouse of sorts," prosecutors said.Informants and undercover FBI agents were inside the group, recording conversations and gathering evidence. The plot was broken up in fall 2020, and Whitmer was not physically harmed.
