The Justice Department issued the following statement.
A Pelahatchie woman was arrested yesterday in a murder-for-hire plot, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Darren J. LaMarca and Special Agent in Charge Jermicha Fomby of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Mississippi.
Jessica Leeann Sledge, 39, of Pelahatchie, is charged in a federal criminal complaint with use of interstate commerce facility in the commission of murder-for-hire.
The complaint alleges that between September 2021, and November 1, 2021, Sledge used facilities of interstate commerce with the intent to hire an assassin to murder an individual in Mississippi. Unknown to Sledge, the “hitman” she hired via the internet to commit a murder was in fact an FBI Special Agent. The intended victim was unharmed.
Sledge will make her initial appearance in federal court in Jackson this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. before United States Magistrate Judge F. Keith Ball. If convicted, she faces up to ten years in federal prison.
This arrest resulted from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Violent Crime Task Force.
The case is being prosecuted by Deputy Criminal Chief Dave Fulcher.
A criminal complaint is merely an allegation by a sworn affiant that a defendant has committed a violation of federal criminal law and is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent and entitled to due process, to include a fair trial, during which it is the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

What a moron.
Ooooops.
Get 'em, Dave!
I’m assuming her target is a man. I’m also assuming he probably slept with her. And, going out on a limb here, he probably married her. And it takes the FBI to save his ass?
We would like to thank the members of the Pelahatchie Underground, the Utica and Mendenhall Fire Departments, the Mississippi Agriculture Gasoline Inspection Sub-unit, the Gluckstadt Dive Team, the members of the Forest Board of Undertakers and the Morning Breakfast Group at Tommy's Trading Post for their assistance in wrapping up this criminal activity. Had it not been for their combined effort, involvement and assistance, the acting and interim Federal Prosecutor would not have a shit of a chance at Senate approval for this vital position in the Biden Administration.
The intended victim told the Clarion Ledger, "Her shit is on the street".
Proof that Mississippians are too stupid to be on the internet.

"What we have here is failure to communicate."
Quick justice on this tartlett, but no movement on Madison Timber players who stole millions.
All she had to do was send the target on an errand to Belhaven.
4:22 I know you just probably got off your shift, but this is a Federal case. Look it up, and if you have some time off tomorrow during your smoke break look up the difference.
I’ve known Jessica my whole life and this must be bogus. She is a good Christian woman that could not have done this. She and Tommy had issues for sure but I know for a fact that she would never do this
She got that Karen cut

Please don't put that pretty young lady in jail.
"Unknown to Sledge, the 'hitman' she hired via the internet to commit a murder was in fact an FBI Special Agent."
Er, are there a lot of folks who knowingly hire FBI Special Agents to commit a murder? If so, that might be at least two problems.
