LEXINGTON — A Davidson County man has been arrested after police say he tried to hire someone to kill another man.

Lexington police say they arrested 50-year-old Harry Lee Hill Friday morning and charged him with soliciting murder.

Police say a two-week investigation showed that Hill tried to hire someone to kill Jeremy Gober. Police did not say how Hill and Gober know each other or who Hill tried to hire.

Hill was being held in the Davidson County jail on a $500,000 bond. He’s scheduled to appear in court on August 1, and it wasn’t clear if he had an attorney.
