Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
ALBION - A former Syracuse woman was ordered to serve 20 years in prison and to receive psychological treatment after admitting to plotting to have her police officer husband killed.
Tammy Johnson, 42, appeared Tuesday before Noble Superior Court Judge Stephen Spindler. Johnson's total sentence for the conspiracy to commit murder charge was 30 years, with 10 years suspended for probation.
Johnson admitted giving her daughter and son-in-law $200 to purchase a gun and clothing to wearing when they killed Rick Johnson, a Ligonier police officer. The couple took the information about Johnson's plot to police and were wearing audio recording equipment when the money was exchanged.
