Tennessee mom tried to hire hit man to kill former TV anchor ex-husband, put him ‘underground': docs
Angelia "Angie" Solomon, 55, was charged with solicitation to commit first-degree murder against her ex-husband, Aaron Solomon.
She appeared in Tennessee's 21st Judicial District Court on Monday morning and was reportedly assigned a public defender. She is being held in the Williamson County jail on a $500,000 bond, and was set to have a bond hearing Tuesday.
Aaron Solomon was formerly an anchor at WSMV Channel 4 News. The couple divorced in 2014.
An affidavit for Angie's arrest said she wanted her ex-husband dead so that her daughter, Gracie Solomon, could have access to a trust fund.
"On April 1, 2025, at approximately 2:15 PM. Angelia Solomon met with an undercover law enforcement officer acting as a 'hitman' in the parking lot area of 1800 Galleria Boulevard Franklin, Williamson County. TN, for the express purpose of hiring him to murder her ex-husband, Aaron Solomon." the affidavit says.
"Angelia Solomon promised future payment to the undercover officer as well as provided the registration of her vehicle as a form of initial collateral payment for Aaron Solomon to disappear and to be put underground. Angelia Solomon stated that this would provide her daughter access to a trust fund," according to the affidavit.
Further, the affidavit said Solomon told the undercover officer where Aaron could be found, including potential workplaces and restaurants, as well as the area in which he lives.
The family made headlines years ago when Grant Solomon, Aaron and Angie's son, was run over and killed by his own vehicle, a Toyota Tacoma, outside a baseball training center in Gallatin, Tennessee, in July 2020.
Grant had just turned 18 at the time.
The District Attorney's office for the 21st Judicial District declined to comment.

'AND THE VENT WAS CLOSED:' Woman Gets into Boyfriend's Tacoma. Then She Sees the Strategically Placed Strand of Hair
Was it a stroke of luck? A sign from above? Or just a content creator messing with us? In a recent TikTok, Laci Johnson ( @laci_johnson ) filmed what looked like a strand of blonde hair drifting out of the front side vent of her boyfriend's Toyota Tacoma. 'Late night finds, but it's his truck putting a strand of girl's hair DIRECTLY in my face as soon as I get in,' she said. 'What a real one.' Stay informed with our newsletter every weekday back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . Johnson later revealed the whole thing was staged—the hair was hers, not evidence of some mystery woman—but that didn't stop commenters from swapping their own stories of discovering a partner's cheating through similarly bizarre clues. By Thursday, the video had garnered over 1.6 million views. Did Her Boyfriend Cheat? Probably not. In her first clip, Johnson implies the hair came from someone else—likely another woman her boyfriend was secretly seeing. She even refers to the mystery woman as 'a girl's girl.' Maybe she did suspect it at first. But in a follow-up video , Johnson clarifies the hair was her own. How she figured that out—or why she's certain it wasn't from someone else—remains unclear. 'When I make a video about finding a hair in my bf's truck and it gets a million views, but the hair was mine,' she says.

Her Negotiation Skills Stop Salesman in His Tracks Still, spotting another woman's hair in your boyfriend's car can be a gut punch—something Johnson and plenty of commenters admitted. As Johnson put it, her 'crashout' was 'valid.' Do People Leave Tokens Behind to Expose Cheaters? If someone wants to reveal an affair, they might leave something behind that's impossible to miss. It could be a pair of underwear that doesn't belong to the spouse, tucked away somewhere it's likely to be found, such as the laundry or a drawer. Sometimes it's a note or letter that explains the situation directly, eliminating any uncertainty. Other times, it's smaller, like a hair tie (or a strand of hair), a piece of jewelry, or a stray item of clothing, just enough to prompt someone to start asking questions. On Reddit, one woman in the infidelity subreddit described sleeping with someone whom she later learned was married, and she asked commenters how she should discreetly inform the spouse. The answers ranged from leaving pads and tampons in their shared bathroom to posting a photo of herself with the other person online—and tagging the spouse. A large swath of commenters, though, advised against leaving these so-called tokens and, instead, said it's better to just confront the woman directly. If she's to go this route, though, Redditors recommended providing the affected woman with irrefutable proof, such as a picture of her at their house. Of course, not everyone involved in an affair will leave a token behind. But even if they don't, other signs may still emerge. According to Choose Therapy , many affairs are discovered in different ways, such as unusual behavior, increased stress, privacy around phones, decreased intimacy, or unexplained absences. Not everyone leaves evidence intentionally. When it does occur, the outcome can be challenging for everyone involved. Viewers React Before realizing the hair in Johnson's boyfriend's car was her own, some commenters insisted she was 'protected' and needed to leave him immediately. 'That's a sign literally,' one said. 'AND THE VENT WAS CLOSED,' added a second. 'You are divinely protected,' a third chimed in. 'That's the universe saying, 'Hey girl, we need to talk,'' a fourth TikTok user quipped. While Johnson doesn't appear to be ending the relationship—especially if there was no cheating—others still joked that it was a red flag for any man to drive a Tacoma and claimed she could do better. 'He drove a Tacoma girl, no loss there,' one woman said. 'He drives a Tacoma, you should have known from the start,' wrote another. 'Girl, he's driving a Tacoma,' a third added. 'Run.'
