Man charged with conspiracy to commit murder on the run

A man charged with conspiracy to commit murder might have his bond revoked after he allegedly removed a GPS monitoring device.

According to court documents filed Wednesday, the Prosecutor’s Office was notified that Jared Bears had tampered with the equipment, and ESA Monitoring found the equipment abandoned. His whereabouts are currently unknown.

Bears was ordered to wear the GPS tracking device and to remain at home after his original charge.

ABC17 previously reported that Bears and Brian Kelley were charged with conspiracy to commit murder after messages were found between the two describing how Kelley was going to murder an elderly couple and how the men were going to hide the bodies.
