McEarchern was indicted by a federal grand jury on January 3, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>According to U.S. Attorney Pak, the charges, and other information presented in court: McEarchern was an inmate at the jail in Bartow County, Georgia, having been arrested on drugs charges in October 2017. While incarcerated, McEarchern reached out to several individuals trying to find someone who could arrange for the murder of his ex-wife, who lived in Cobb County. One individual told a friend of McEarchern\u2019s desire to kill his ex-wife, and that person reported the crime to the FBI. To ensure that McEarchern was serious about seeking someone to carry out the murder, the FBI waited for McEarchern to reach out to the informant, which he did.<\/p>\n<p>Believing that he was setting up the killing of his ex-wife, McEarchern agreed to pay $10,000 in cash and two tickets to an Atlanta Hawks basketball game in payment. Additionally, to show that he was serious, he had $800 in cash mailed to the assassin. Jail recordings captured McEarchern providing the address to the person who he asked to mail the money for him. The FBI retrieved an envelope containing the $800 with a return address of the person who sent the money on McEarchern\u2019s instruction. The defendant also provided an address where the assassin could find the ex-wife.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_115542\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-115542\" style=\"width: 484px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115542\" src=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/5a455122d3106.image_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"484\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/5a455122d3106.image_.jpg 484w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/5a455122d3106.image_-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/5a455122d3106.image_-474x420.jpg 474w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-115542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael McEarchern, 29<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis defendant\u2019s alleged actions indicate that he was serious about having his ex-wife murdered,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Byung J. \u201cBJay\u201d Pak. \u201cBy providing an address and up-front money for the would-be assassin, McEarchern left little doubt that if the threat had not been discovered he may have found someone to carry out the heinous deed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis case is another example of the lengths the FBI will go, to protect the citizens of this country,\u201d said David J.
