Jesusadelaida Lopez, 40, was caught after discussing the murder plot with a police officer, not a hitman. 'In Polk County vernacular this lady is a nut, but she is dangerous,' the local sheriff said.
Investigators said Lopez believed that her partner Daniel was set to testify against her and proposed making his death look like a"robbery gone wrong."
In July this year, a battery charge was added after Lopez got into a fight with an inmate and tried to gouge out her opponent's eyes, Sheriff Grady Judd said in a briefing yesterday. Judd noted her behavior then escalated further, even though she was behind bars. The suspect told the officer she wanted a tree removed from her yard. When the detective asked for a photo of the tree, Lopez sent a picture of her husband.
When confronted with the mass of evidence collected by investigators, the suspect admitted sending the letter and making calls to the undercover detective.
