Carl Perry, a 51-year-old Daytona Beach hotel manager has been arrested by the Daytona Beach Shores, Fla. Police Department and charged with trying to hire a hit-man to have his wife murdered and collect on a $500,000 life insurance policy.
Perry offered a police informant an initial $15,000 and $250,000 when the job was completed. According to the Daytona Beach Shores Department of Public Safety, police conducted a weeklong investigation, which included an undercover detective meeting with him.
During the meeting in at the South Atlantic Avenue hotel Perry managed, Perry told the detective “it needs to be done,” police told the Daytona Beach News-Journal. “I don’t want to know how or when,” he reportedly told the detective.
Police detectives arrested Perry in the lobby of the Quality Inn Ocean Palms Hotel. He was charged with conspiracy and solicitation to commit murder. When his wife was escorted into the lobby, he told her that he wasn’t really going to do it.
