"On Tuesday, March 4, 2014, detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Fraud and Cyber Crimes Bureau, received information on a cyber stalking case which started from the West Hollywood area," according to a statement by Los Angeles Sheriff Department.
The statement said that while investigating the cyber stalking allegation, "separate information was obtained regarding an alleged solicitation for murder… Dawn DaLuise, was arrested and booked at West Hollywood station," said the statement.
"The investigation is still on-going relative to the male allegedly contacted by DaLuise to perform murder for hire," said the statement by officials by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. "The motive for the alleged crime is over a business dispute with an esthetician competitor."
DaLuise is scheduled to be arraigned today at Airport Court in Los Angeles.
The sheriff's office did not disclose the intended target of the alleged murder plot and did not know whether DaLuise had a lawyer.
