A man from Bizmarck, North Dakota, got sentenced on Tuesday for his planned attack on President Trump’s motorcade in September of 2017, according to The Bizmarck Tribune.
Gregory Lee Leingang, 42, stole a forklift on the same day President Trump delivered a speech at Andeavor Mandan Refinery, and entered the route of Trump’s motorcade before getting stuck in a gated area.
Police soon arrested Leingang, who then admitted that he was attempting to flip President Trump’s limo. Leingang’s public defender claimed he was suffering “a serious psychiatric crisis” at the time of the planned forklift attack.
