Montgomery Co. man sentenced in carjacking attempt

A Maryland man accused of plotting to kill President Barack Obama when he was a candidate will serve one year in prison for a carjacking conviction. Twenty-year-old Collin McKenzie-Gude pleaded guilty to trying to carjack a 78-year-old man the day authorities searched his home in 2008. On Wednesday, a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge sentenced McKenzie-Gude to three years for the carjacking charge, but gave him credit for the nearly two years he's already spent behind bars. At the hearing, McKenzie-Gude apologized to his family and the man, saying of all his mistakes the last two years, this was "the most disgusting and despicable behavior." In January, a federal judge sentenced him to five years in prison for possessing bomb-making chemicals. SOURCE: San Francisco Examiner
