I checked Davis's criminal history in Alleghany County and couldn't find anything other than a couple of minor traffic violations.
Her next scheduled court appearance is set for January 28, 2010.
I could not track down Davis's husband for comment.

Alleghany County commonwealth's attorney Ed Stein said Davis is accused of paying an undercover state police officer $500 to kill her husband.
The transaction happened yesterday, November 30, in the Covington Wal-Mart parking lot.
Stein said Davis originally contacted a friend about the plot, and that friend in turn called police.
You'll see more on this story tonight on WSLS 10 On Your Side at 6 p.m.
