The acquaintance contacted the sheriff’s office, Taylor said. Around 2 a.m. Friday, Bosworth met at a Gas City gas station with an undercover officer posing as a hitman. The officer agreed to carry out the murder for an undisclosed amount of money, Taylor said.
The meeting ended and Bosworth was pulled over for a license plate violation a few minutes later. She was taken in for questioning and charged with conspiracy to commit murder, a level 2 felony.
Taylor said Bosworth gave detectives specific reasons why she wanted to kill her husband, 37-year-old Joshua Bosworth, but the information is not being released.
Bosworth is currently in the Grant County jail with a $250,000 bond.
Taylor said no one else is believed to have been involved in the plot, but the investigation is ongoing.
