A Gwinnett County jail inmate is accused of trying to hire someone to kill a woman he blamed for problems in his life.
Richard Allen Fowler was being held on unrelated charges awaiting transfer to the state prison system when jail officials were tipped off about Fowler's intentions. A deputy posing as a hit man met with Fowler, and Fowler allegedly offered him money for the killing. Fowler also told the "hit man" where to find her.
Fowler was charged on Monday with criminal solicitation and criminal attempt to commit a crime. He remains in jail without bond.
