Federal prosecutors said they are seeking an 18-year prison sentence for the Catonsville woman charged with trying to destroy Baltimore’s power grid.
Sarah Beth Clendaniel pleaded guilty in May to conspiring with her boyfriend, Brandon Russell, from December 2022 through February 2023, to damage energy facilities in Baltimore.
In court filings Friday, prosecutors said the attack would have cost Baltimore Gas & Electric $75 million.
Prosecutors said they plan to call witnesses at the sentencing hearing, including a BGE substation manager and a ballistics expert.
