Correction: We screwed up. JJ initially reported Simpson County in the first sentence.
The Smith County Sheriff's Office issued the following statement.
Arrest Made in Murder-for-Hire Plot by Smith County Sheriff's Office
The Smith County Sheriff's Office made a significant arrest on Sunday, June 23, 2024, foiling a disturbing murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by Randall Hutchinson. Hutchinson, a resident of Smith County, was apprehended as he attempted to leave town following a swift investigation by Sheriff's Office Investigators.
The investigation revealed that Hutchinson had approached an individual with an offer to commit murder on his behalf. Hutchinson had allegedly contracted the individual to carry out the killings of TWO Smith County residents in exchange for a payment totaling $12,000.00. Furthermore, Hutchinson provided the individual with a firearm, gloves, and ammunition intended for use in the crimes.

"With the quick actions of our Investigators, we were able to intervene and prevent a potentially tragic outcome," stated Sheriff Joel Houston. "The recovery of the weapon, gloves, and ammunition Hutchinson had supplied, along with additional evidence gathered during the investigation, stressed the severity of the threat posed by Hutchinson's intentions."
Randall Hutchinson was apprehended without incident as he attempted to flee the area. He has been taken into custody and is facing TWO felony charges related to an attempt to commit an offense of murder.
The Sheriff's Office emphasizes that there is no ongoing threat to public safety associated with this incident.
"We want to assure the residents of Smith County that we take threats to public safety very seriously," Sheriff Joel Houston continued. "Our swift response and collaboration with law enforcement agencies have led to the apprehension of the suspect and the disruption of this dangerous plan."
The Smith County Sheriff's Office expresses gratitude to the community members who provided information and cooperated during the investigation. The case remains under investigation as additional details are being reviewed. Hutchinson has a $100,000.00 bond set by the Justice Court Judge. The case will be turned over to the District Attorney's Office of the 13th district for prosecution.

Operative word "IDIOT."
The individual Hutchinson contacted to carry out the killing went to the police with the gun, ammo& gloves.
Well, did the intended victims need killing?
If you want to do a job right, you have to do it yourself.
What did this have to do with the “Simpson County Sheriff’s Office”?
Why even give a fruit cake like this a bond?!?
Or, if folks must be given a bond set it at $10mm minimum!!
#stupid
Motive? If I were one of the intended victims I would be offended that it wasn’t work more than $6k
Very few of us will sleep tonite for wondering why the old geezer wanted two people dead. Don't tell me they stole a possum from Hutchinson's freezer and he had counted on it for Sunday supper with the preacher.
Lesson learned the hard way. Always thoroughly vet your selected hitman.
Methinks there is something wrong with Col. Sanders' medulla oblongata.
You can’t even trust potential hitmen anymore.
Does he still get the $12K...?
What this world has become will drive anybody to being batshit, sick and tired. There's no telling how many angry 65 year old men are just itching to arrange something foolhardy as this. Anybody know what the motive was against the lucky two?
I was on a grand jury 15 years ago that indicted a man who offered an undercover MBI agent- on tape- $10,000 to kill his wife in order to collect $8,000 in life insurance proceeds. Talk about a loss leader…
Never contract out what you can do for yourself.

King - this pertains to your story about Delbert/absenteeism issue.
Can you find out where are the students skipping school? Delta, Coast, Tupelo, Hinds?
Will Delbert/Dept of Ed. release this info?
He looks like he is from Madison County?
What's Simpson County part in this?
This is credited to the Simpson County sheriff's office but it is not even on their site
KF be honest and give yourself an honorable mention for idiot of the day for this. If you don't you are a hypocrite

Lesson learned, don’t use Angie’s List for stuff like this
When looking to hire a hit-man, don't rely on reviews posted on Yelp or Nextdoor.
Phony..... next time you jump all over someone who makes a mistake you remember about casting stones.
Poor little baby ass himself can't take it
This is peak watermelon season. The people of Smith County don't have time for this.

You obviously aren't a deep thinker. Consider this: The man you indicted would have gotten rid of his wife for the paltry amount of $2000. That's cheap, even considering inflation.
At least inflation hasn’t affected the murder for hire market.
