On October 13th, an employee of a business on Canterbury Road in Westlake called the police around 10:45 PM reporting suspicious voicemails they received.

The message was from a man looking to put a $5,000 hit on his own son. This led police to believe this was a murder-for-hire plot.

The voicemail said, "It's time. My son's name is _____. It's a five-grand hit on him"

Police discovered that the man dialed the incorrect number when leaving the incriminating message.

The 58-year-old man Desmen Ramsey admitted to making the calls. He told police that he had gotten into an argument with his son recently and made the phone call after a night of heavy drinking.

Cpt. Gerald Vogel of the Westlake Police Department said Ramsey’s son declined any protection as a result of the threats.
