A Massachusetts man has been arraigned in an alleged scheme to hire a hit man to injure or kill his wife.
Prosecutors allege that Andrew Gordon, 51, of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, attempted to pay $20,000 in August for an attack on his wife.
The individual he attempted to pay was an undercover Massachusetts state trooper posing as a hit man.
During June and July, prosecutors say Gordon learned his wife was seeking a divorce and vandalized her car, as well as allegedly watched her apartment complex from nearby woods with a ski mask and binoculars.
Gordon is charged with soliciting a felony, attempted assault and battery, intimidation of a witness, and violating a restraining order. He is being held without bail.
