The first of a group of Florida men to be sentenced for abducting and kidnapping a man walking from a Shelby Township fitness center in 2023 was ordered to serve 42 to 64 years in prison.
At least one of the additional four defendants is scheduled to go on trial in March.
Plumaj was punched, kicked and had his hands zip-tied together when forced into his vehicle, according to prosecutors.
“Give us the money or we’ll burn your d— off,” Gardner told Plumaj, according to Assistant Macomb Prosecutor Carmen DeFranco, after forcing Plumaj to pull down his pants while holding a torch near his genitals.
According to the indictment, the defendants were member of the “AP” gang, acronym of Alexander Park, in Florida’s Hillsborough County and “elsewhere,” according to the feds.
