A North Texas woman is facing serious charges after allegedly orchestrating a plan to murder her ex-husband with chocolates laced with fentanyl.

A few months ago, someone called the authorities and said they got a call from an individual who told them she was going to kill her ex-husband with fentanyl. As a result, on May 30, an investigator with the Parker County Special Crimes Unit was part of a sting operation at the Scottish Motel in Weatherford in an effort to intervene.
