A Pennsylvania woman has been charged in a murder-for-hire plot after allegedly trying to have her husband killed on a payment plan.

Claudia Carrion, 44, stands accused of criminal solicitation to commit homicide after she allegedly tried to hire an undercover detective as a hitman to take out her husband–who she believed was abusing her and her family as well as cheating on her with several other women.

She was arrested and charged on Friday after an undercover operation that was conducted on Thursday, police claim.

According to a criminal complaint reviewed by local independent news station WFMZ, the defendant “described in detail why she wanted her husband killed” before paying a $100 deposit.

Authorities allege that Carrion originally agreed to pay $4,000 for the value-priced hit but that during the meet-up she expressed an inability to pay the amount in full. After some negotiations, a payment plan was agreed upon, the deposit was paid, and she was arrested, police say.

The purportedly scorned wife also allegedly admitted to police that she paid the deposit using five $20 bills and that the remainder of the balance would be paid off in weekly installments.

But law enforcement says she told them this wasn’t her first attempt to off her husband.

She allegedly told an investigator after being arrested that she previously attempted to have a hitman kill her husband but that the first attempt “did not work out,” according to court documents viewed by LehighValleyLive.

Wonder if she gave any thought about how good of a hit man could he be to take that deal?.

Stupidity is the handmaiden to criminality.

I wonder if hit men take checks or credit cards?

Joshua Carrion interviews with WFMZ. “It’s not like that. I feel like she’s getting framed. She’s, she’s Christian, you know, like, very religious,” he said. “My family — my family — we never do harm. We’re all, you know, innocent. We don’t have no criminal records of nothing.” Later in the interview, Joshua said he never witnessed abuse. “Never. Never. No they was always happy, so I don’t know about that,” he said, referring to alleged abuse.

Sounds like a member of the dindu nuffin clan.
