Breaking News: Arlington Man Charged With Trying To Hire A Hit Man To Kill Judge McBryde

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram is reporting that an Arlington man in federal custody has been charged with attempting to hire a hit man to kill Judge McBryde. The man had been scheduled to start trial on Monday for allegedly filing false tax returns, and believed that Judge McBryde was going to sentence him to 20 years in prison. The man had offered to pay another inmate $100,000 cash to kill Judge McBryde, and that inmate subsequently contacted federal authorities, who set up a sting operation that involved the man sending $5,000 to an FBI agent posing as a hitman.
