Angelia Solomon, 55, is charged with solicitation to commit first-degree murder, according to the Franklin Police Department.

According to court documents, Soloman met with an undercover officer acting as a "hitman" in the Cool Springs Mall parking lot in Franklin on Friday just after 2 p.m.

Soloman reportedly met with the officer for the purpose of hiring him to murder her ex-husband Aaron Soloman and promised future payment as well as registration to her vehicle as collateral.

She reportedly stated that the payment for Aaron to disappear and be put underground would provide her daughter access to a trust fund.

The document adds that she provided the officer with information on how to find Aaron, places he may work and the area where he lives.

Solomon is being held at the Williamson County jail on a $500,000 bond. She first met with a judge electronically on Monday and is scheduled to be back in court on Tuesday.
