Sweetie Pie's murder plot, Welcome to Sweetie Pie's star James 'Tim' Norman

 Sweetie Pie's murder plot, Welcome to Sweetie Pie's star James 'Tim' Norman.

A star of the show "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's" is facing charges in connection with the murder-for-hire killing of his 18-year-old nephew, according to court documents.

Tim Norman, 41, of Jackson, was charged by a federal complaint on Aug. 11, 2020. He was arrested Tuesday morning in Jackson and is being held at the Madison County Detention Center awaiting extradition to Missouri.

Norman was charged with conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities in the commission of a murder-for-hire, resulting in death.

Andre Montgomery was shot to death in St. Louis in March 2016. Norman is accused of taking out a $450,000 insurance policy on Montgomery, of which he was the sole beneficiary. According to the complaint, Norman conspired with exotic dancer Terica Ellis, of Memphis, in the murder-for-hire plot that ended in Montgomery's death.

Federal investigators said Norman and Ellis used burner phones to contact each other. Investigators said Ellis' phone location information placed her in the area of the murder at the time Montgomery was shot. The records also show Ellis called Norman immediately following the fatal shooting, according to the indictment.

In the days after the murder, Ellis deposited more $9,000 in cash into various bank accounts, investigators said.

Ellis was also charged by complaint with conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire, resulting in death.

During a December 2016 episode of "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's," Norman and his mother are shown going to the scene where Montgomery was killed. They talked about how emotional the death was for them.

Norman has lived in Jackson for a couple of years since opening a Sweetie Pie's location in the capital city.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Section and FBI are investigating. It was not immediately known when Norman will be returned to St. Louis to face charges.

UK debt 2 trillion, UK government spending on virus measures pushes. UK government debt has risen above £2 trillion for the first time amid heavy spending to support the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. Spending on measures such as the furlough scheme means the debt figure now equals the value of everything the UK produces in a year. Total debt hit £2.004tn in July, £227.6bn more than last year,  said the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Economists warned the situation would worsen before improving. Where do governments borrow money? It is the first time debt has been above 100% of gross domestic product (GDP) since the 1960-61 financial year, the ONS said. The July borrowing figure - the difference between spending and tax income - was £26.7bn, down from a revised £29.5bn in June. It was the fourth highest borrowing in any month since records began in 1993. The three higher figures were the previous three months. Those are big figures. What do they mean? Ruth Gregory, s...

Roger Stone appeal drop of his conviction (Details)

 Roger Stone appeal drop of his conviction (Details). Roger Stone, an admitted dirty trickster and longtime associate of President Trump, has dropped the appeal of his conviction for lying to Congress and witness tampering during his work on the 2016 Trump campaign. Stone gave little reason for his concession in a sworn statement filed to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday night, but on his website said that “my attorneys have convinced me that the odds of victory were slim.” “It is time for me to move on with my life with my family, friends, and supporters,” Stone said. “I regret not going forward with the appeal to fully expose all that happened, with the hope that by doing so, I could help prevent it from happening to anyone else ever again; but I had to decide based on what is best for me and my family.” Trump commuted his sentence last month. Stone was convicted in a jury trial last November on seven counts of lying to Congress, obstruction of Congress and witness ...
