Police have arrested a Washington County woman for conspiring to kill her husband.

Chatom police say 35-year-old Martha Beech planned to inject a drug used to treat arthritis in horses into her husband's IV after he had surgery.

Officers arrested Beech Friday afternoon after receiving a tip about her plans.

Police Chief Michael Garrick tells News 5 Beech had about 20 cc's of Phenylbutazone, or Bute as it is commonly known.

Beech is being held in the Washington County Jail on $30,000 bond.

Does Anyone know what is going on now? Is Bo out of the hospital? Does Marty still have the kids? If he is not in the hospital then is he in jail yet?

I do not feel that it is totally up to the police and other officials to do all the work in order to bring justice. If we as citizens would stand for the truth and everyone would be honest we would not have as many repeat offenders as we do on the streets.  It is our responsibility as citizens to protect our children and if we don’t who will?  So I am asking everyone that has been aware of what was going on with this family to go to the police and let it be known.  When we expect little children to tell what has happened to them and you as an adult will not stand up, what can we expect.  It is easy to be judgemental of the system but how many times have we really taken the Christain approach and tried to help in anyway that we could.  It is easy to stand around town and discuss what should or should have been done but people need to be willing to get on the stand and tell the truth and then maybe justice will be served.

I am so glad that Marty is out of jail, she is the real victim here.  Maybe oh BO will meet up with old Bubba in the popo house and get his due.  Society would be a lot better off if that scum bag had gone to meet the big man upstairs.  But, I don’t think GOD is quite ready for him yet, I have a feeling that his suffering is just beginning and he deserves it. For him to actually die would have been the easy way out.  I don’t personally know either one of them but I am just calling it like I see it.

I saw Marty at the grocery store on Thursday, Oct 2nd - so she is out.
