CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Investigators say an employee of the Mecklenburg County Health Department School Health program has been arrested in a federal murder-for-hire case.

Police say this is not related to her work with Mecklenburg County. Β She has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the charges, according to a county spokesperson.
A federal affidavit claims Davis solicited a man to murder her ex-husband. Β When the man said he would not murder her ex-husband, she allegedly asked him to find someone that would. Β
