FRANKLINTON, La. -- Dean Kelly, the former male model serving jail time for convictions on sexual battery and carnal knowledge charges, has now been charged with four counts of plotting to kill several Orleans Parish officials.
According to court documents, Kelly, who is being held at the Rayburn Correctional Center in Angie, La., attempted to hire a former fellow inmate to carry out the killings in exchange for $35,000 in cash, two luxury cars, and boat, and a BMW motorcycle.
St. Tammany and Washington Parish District Attorney Warren Montgomery said Kelly's intended victims included Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro, City Councilman Jason Williams, Criminal District Court Judge Tracey Flemings-Davillier and a victim of a sex crime Kelly committed.
Kelly is serving a 10-year sentence for his prior convictions.
