Pittsburg County Man Pleads No Contest In Murder-For-Hire Plot

A 44-year-old Pittsburg County man pleaded no contest Monday to charges of plotting to hire someone to kill the mother of his grandchild.  

A judge sentenced Billy Crenshaw to 20 years suspended on a solicitation for murder charge and 10 years suspended on a conspiracy to commit murder charge.

In 2014, authorities said a man, who Crenshaw and Shonda Bridge-Miller, 41, tried to hire to kill his granddaughter's mother, reported them to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
