ALEXANDRIA, VA—Ann Jenene Cinnamon, aka
Ann Jenene Greer, 41, of Sterling, Virginia, was sentenced to 72 months in
prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for hiring a hit-man to
kill her boyfriend’s “mistress.”
Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney
for the Eastern District of Virginia, and James W. McJunkin, Assistant Director
in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, made the announcement after
sentencing by United States District Judge Liam O’Grady.
Cinnamon pled guilty on February 1,
2012, to murder-for-hire. According to court records, in August 2011 Cinnamon
contacted a man to ask his help in hiring someone to murder an individual that
she described as her boyfriend’s mistress. From that time through October 2011,
Cinnamon took steps to carry out the murder, including offering to pay $500 to
the hit man, paying $100 as a down payment, and planning her alibi.
Court records indicate that the man she
contacted brought the request to the attention of the FBI, and his interaction
with the defendant was closely monitored by law enforcement. Cinnamon was
arrested by the FBI on October 20, 2011, following a meeting she had with the
man in a Great Falls shopping center, where they discussed the murder plot and
the plan for payment.
The case was investigated by the FBI’s
Washington Field Office. Assistant United States Attorney Jonathan Fahey and
Special Assistant United States Attorney Melissa Pientka prosecuted the case on
behalf of the United States.
