A local woman is being held in the Fayette County Jail, accused of trying to get someone to kill her husband.
Police say Roxanne Guty offered half of her husband's life insurance policy to a man if he killed him, and even gave the would-be shooter money for a gun.

The man who Guty tried to hire was apparently a friend of the family. He told police he thought she was joking.
"At first, he thought it was a joke, he didn't think she was serious. But over several months money would appear, she would give him money but became suspicious but still thought it was a joke," trooper Robert Broadwater told Channel 11's Cara Sapida.
That man is not facing charges.
