CHALMETTE, La. -- St. Bernard Parish sheriff's deputies said an 18-year-old
Arabi woman tried to hire a man to kill another woman.
Cassandra Blackledge was arrested on May 4 and is being held in the St.
Bernard Parish Prison on $400,000 bond.

Police said she tried to hire a man to kill an 18-year-old Chalmette woman
whom they both knew.

There was no indication as to why Blackledge wanted the woman killed,
according to Chief Deputy Sheriff James Pohlmann.

Pohlmann said a New Orleans man sent the intended victim a text message on
May 3 saying that Blackledge had called him and wanted to hire him to kill
the 18-year-old. The New Orleans man told police that the intended victim
had called the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office to report threats being
made on a social networking site to have her shot.

A state district judge signed a warrant for Blackledge's arrest, charging
her with solicitation of murder.
