Rookie Officer Stacy Lavon Moved to Different Jail for Safety Reasons

A rookie Hereford police officer accused of trying to hire someone to burglarize and burn down a Randall County home has been moved to another jail.

Stacy Lavon Conway, 24, remained in custody Friday at the Potter County jail on a $50,000 bond, charged with the second-degree felony criminal solicitation. She is accused of attempting to hire an undercover Amarillo police officer, who was posing as a criminal, to burglarize and then torch the home where two Randall County Sheriff's Office employees live.

Conway had been housed at the Randall County jail.

Randall County Chief Deputy David Thurman said the decision was made to move Conway because some of the people involved in the matter work for Randall County.

"Just for everybody's safety and security, we felt it prudent to house her somewhere else," he said.
