The alleged hit man who is accused of being hired by a popular Atlanta deejay to kill his wife has been freed on bond.
Adrian Harley, 34, of Alpharetta bonded out of the Fulton County Jail on Saturday, on a $235,000 bond, according to Fulton County Jail records.
According to multiple media reports, Harley is accused of shooting to death Tiffany Jackson-Pugh, 30, on Thanksgiving Eve in what in the Atlanta suburb of East Point, Ga., at the behest of her husband, Andre Jason Pugh.
Harley was required to relinquish his passport because he has relatives in England and he has to wear a monitoring device and be subjected to a 24-hour curfew.
Pugh, the alleged mastermind behind the murder-for hire, is a popular turntable titan who was known at the strip club, Club Onyx, as DJ Awesome. He and Harley are lifelong friends.
Pugh, 34, was denied bond by the presiding judge and remains in the Fulton County Jail.
Fulton Magistrate Karen Woodson, WSBTV reports, set bond for both men, and defense lawyers argued neither man has a violent history and the case against them is circumstantial. Previous charges against Harley are related to a DUI case and Pugh had two misdemeanor theft charges a decade ago.
According to investigators with East Point and Fulton County police departments, Jackson-Pugh was murdered in her bed on Nov. 23 around 6 a.m. Police say Harley drove a car similar to the one that was captured on surveillance video that was parked near Harley’s home at the time a burglar alarm went off at Pugh’s East Point house on Lake Haven Way, according to Detective Allyn Glover.
Glover also tells the media about the cellphone records that put Harley and Pugh in the area about the time of the murder, despite Harley’s claim that he was in a north Atlanta suburb at the time.
After the alarm company called Pugh and told him about the ringer going off, he reportedly told them to turn the alarm off because he was afraid it would wake his children, Glover added.
What also gave police pause was Pugh’s suspicious behavior after he learned his wife was killed. He was immediately listed as a suspect on the police report, authorities said.
