COLEMAN, Texas (WJW) – A Texas woman is facing charges after investigators say she plotted to murder her ex-husband by sending him a box of chocolates laced with fentanyl.

The Parker County Sheriff’s Office initiated their investigation after a source alleged that 63-year-old Pamela Jean Stanley had wanted to kill her ex-husband, who had recently become engaged.

Investigators said Stanley was recorded saying she wanted to buy and “inject” fentanyl into a box of chocolates and send it to her ex. She also planned to make the chocolates appear as if they were a “congratulatory gift” from a travel company, along with a honeymoon promotion, the sheriff’s office said.

Undercover agents with the office’s Special Crimes Unit convinced Stanley to meet them to buy fentanyl in the parking lot of a motel in Coleman, Texas, the sheriff’s office said. They took her into custody after the operation.

Upon arrest, Stanley was also found to be in possession of 9.5 grams of methamphetamine.

Stanley has since been indicted for “criminal solicitation with intent to commit murder, criminal attempt to commit murder, and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver,” according to the sheriff’s office.
