Woman Allegedly Tries Hiring Hit Man

Loudoun County woman faces prison time for allegedly trying to have her boyfriend killed

A Loudoun County school bus driver is in custody, accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill her boyfriend and his other girlfriend.

Ann Jenene Cinnamon is facing up to 10 years in prison in connection with the alleged plot.

Prosecutors said it started when Cinnamon met a man on a website called “Be Naughty.” They said she asked him if he had any friends who could “do her a favor.” That alleged favor: murder a woman she called her boyfriend’s mistress. He allegedly told her that he would see what he could do. He also told someone else about their conversation: the FBI.

Investigators said federal agents tracked and recorded negotiations between Cinnamon and the man she thought was helping her find a hit man. They said she drove a hard bargain too -- offering to pay just $500 for the hit, and not even offering to pay for the killer’s airfare. Prosecutors said she even asked for a two-for-one deal because she later wanted her boyfriend dead, too.

Cinnamon was arrested last week. She remains in federal custody.
