DICKSON, Tenn. – Special Agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) have arrested and charged a Dickson man accused of soliciting a crime victim’s father and offering to murder his child’s killer.
Authorities say 43-year-old Jamey Earl Donegan approached the family of one of the victims killed in a Dickson house fire last week and offered himself for hire to murder their child’s killer in exchange for money.

Agents determined Donegan furthered the solicitation plot when he manufactured a confession by having another individual pose as the killer and offer a false confession to the family.
Donegan was arrested Monday and charged with one count of Solicitation to Commit First Degree Murder. He is being held on $1,000,000 bond in the Dickson County Jail.
Anyone with information should contact the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
