LONGVIEW — A Washington woman accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill her ex-boyfriend pleaded not guilty to first-degree solicitation to commit murder.
The Daily News reports Maegan Ward, of Castle Rock, entered the plea Tuesday at the Cowlitz County jail.
Ward is accused of giving $700 and offering another $1,800 to convince a man previously convicted of murder to kill Kevin Hill, her ex-boyfriend.
Ward reportedly knew the would-be hit man through his wife, her co-worker at a Longview retail store. The man told police that Ward had approached him repeatedly to kill Hill.
