Woman Sentenced After Plot to Kill Informant

Fifty-five-year-old Redena Hire from Fort Wayne just got 12 years for drug dealing and 2 more for aiding a criminal — all running concurrently — plus 2 years probation, after pleading guilty to helping plot the murder of a police informant. The scheme, orchestrated by jailed meth kingpin Jason Bridges, involved planting fentanyl and a gun to fake an overdose. If she’d gone to trial, she could’ve faced over 70 years. Her co-conspirator, 20-year-old Alexis Drake, awaits sentencing in June. This case exposes the brutal stakes when conspiracies turn deadly.
