Police have arrested a Wichita Falls couple on charges they tried to hire someone to kill their daughter's boyfriend in a dispute over money.
Fifty-eight-year-old Jeffery Peyton was being held without bond Friday at the Wichita County jail while his wife, 39-year-old Christina Peyton, was being held on a $1 million bond. Both are charged with criminal solicitation to commit capital murder.
The Peytons were taken into custody Thursday by a Wichita Falls police tactical team.
Police said in a statement that the couple paid an undercover officer $500 to kill the boyfriend, who was unharmed.
No other information was available Friday and the case remains under investigation.
Online jail records did not indicate an attorney for the couple who could respond to the allegations.
