VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A Vancouver man is accused of hiring two men to beat up his estranged wife after she served him with a no-contact order.
The Columbian reports the plan was thwarted when the men tipped her off. Edgar Gonzalez-Gomez appeared Friday in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of criminal solicitation.
Court records show his bail was set at $500,000. The woman served Gonzalez-Gomez with a no-contact order April 7. A week later, a probable cause affidavit says she was sitting in her car when she saw an unknown man walk by before telling her about the plan and that he wouldn’t do it.
