The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has charged 26-year-old inmate Richard Palmer with two counts of solicitation to commit murder (F-1), and one count of solicitation to commit arson (F-2). The term, “X Out” was adopted by Palmer to refer to the planned murders when speaking with the cellmate and detective. Palmer was arrested in Ohio, and extradited to Polk County in November 2015. Richard Palmer’s prior criminal history consists of four felony charges, three misdemeanor charges, and nine charges of unknown levels. The names of the victim and witnesses, and the map have been withheld due to identifying information in a sexual battery case.
