LEXINGTON, Neb. (TCD) -- A 39-year-old woman has been arrested and charged for an alleged attempted murder plot involving multiple people.
A concerned citizen reported Valerie Miller of Elwood to the Gosper County Sheriff’s Office after she made suspicious comments, the Nebraska State Patrol said in a news release.
