Arcola Woman Sentenced for Trying to Hire a Hit Man

An Arcola woman who tried to have her boyfriend's wife killed is headed to prison for 15 years.

Michelle Smith admitted to a judge that she tried to hire a hit man.

Officials say Smith gave a man a picture of the woman, told him where she lived, and gave him tips on how to get inside her home. The hit man was supposed to kill the woman while Smith and the boyfriend were out together so both of them would have an alibi, but he went instead to authorities and turned Smith in.
