Bauman To Serve 4 Days Behind Bars For Violating Bond

More time in jail for the former Lake Area Realtor accused of trying to hire a hit man to killer her ex-mother-in-law.

Following a hearing on Tuesday, Judge Kenneth Hayden is requiring Leigh Ann Bauman to spend four days at the Laclede County Jail, starting on August 19^th.

The decision follows Bauman’s recent violation of her Bond by drinking too much Alcohol.

Bauman will be required to wear an alcohol monitoring device during her stay.

She is facing a Felony charge of Conspiracy to Commit Murder, which could equal some 3–10 years in prison.

Investigators say Bauman agreed to pay $1,500 to hire a hitman to kill her ex-mother-in-law and make the death “look like an accident.”

In an interview with the Highway Patrol, Bauman stated she believed the ex-mother-in-law was interfering with her relationship between her children.

Judge Hayden did make it known that future violations of her bond will result in more serious repercussions.
