Man asks co-worker to find someone to kill 'you're black'
By Lee Kyung-min
Stephen Perry, 27, asked his co-worker, Adrian Howard, to find a hitman because Howard was black.
He said, “I know ya’ll know people.” and offered Howard $15,000.
Perry is now under arrest for plotting a contact hit on his estranged wife, Allison Mayer.
He was arrested in late December and is scheduled to stand trial in June.
Perry’s arrest got heated attention because of his racial remarks rather than the murder plotting.
Howard worked with Perry at a Valvoline Instant Oil Change in suburban Indianapolis.
Perry and his wife were reportedly in the midst of a heated divorce battle.
“You hurt my dog, the deal is off,” Perry allegedly said to his wife.
