Detroit man accused of threatening to kill Whitmer, Nessel to avoid jail in plea deal [View all]

A 34-year-old Detroit man who prosecutors say “made credible threat to kill” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel has pleaded guilty but mentally ill in a deal that would keep him out of jail.

Robert Sinclair Tesh was charged in April with false report of a threat of terrorism, a felony that carries up to 20 years in prison.

In exchange for his guilty plea, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office agreed to a sentence of five years of probation, as long as he continues to receive mental health treatment, doesn't possess firearms, and abstains from alcohol and drugs.
