Timothy Teagan of Plymouth, Michigan, a member of the radical "Boogaloo Boys" group, has pleaded guilty to federal gun charges.
Prosecutors will recommend a 13-month prison term when Teagan returns to federal court on Aug. 16, according to the plea agreement. He will get credit for his time spent in custody since his arrest.
