Didn't know if anyone else saw it on any of the other boards or not, but apparently John Garrett (who did afternoons at WIVK in the mid and late 90s), was the target of an attempted murder for hire plot in Montgomery, AL. I know he left Knoxville to do mornings at CHR WHHY Y102 Montgomery, and I think he moved to crosstown country WBAM a while back. Anyway, Here's the details from the AL board;
WBAM-FM (Bama Country)/Montgomery, AL, afternoon personality John Garrett was a target of a murder-for-hire plot reports WSFA-TV. Sheriff's investigators say Michael Talley, the ex-boyfriend of Garrett's wife, Heidi, allegedly tried to have Garrett killed for a reported $2,400. Talley was arrested Saturday at his parents' home.
"He and I didn't hit it off in the beginning, and I know that I've tried to extend the Olive branch," Garrett told WSFA, while Sheriff D.T. Marshall added, "He was never serious, and I don't think he had it in him to do it." (05-03-10)
