On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the GBI arrested Brandi Steverson, age 48, of Douglas, GA, with Criminal Attempt to Commit Murder and Conspiracy to Commit Murder.
On Thursday, September 5, 2024, the GBI was requested by the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office after a concerned citizen reported that Steverson had asked them about hiring a hitman to kill her husband. Agents began an investigation which concluded with Steverson making an initial payment to an undercover GBI agent, with a promise to pay more once her husband was killed. As a result of this, Steverson was arrested and booked into the Coffee County Jail.
