A 30-year-old woman out on bond on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder was arrested again Thursday after she rejoined with one of the men at the center of a two-week manhunt.

Traci Hutcheson of Center Hill was recaptured along with Antwan Deon Williams, 34, of Oxford, at a residence in Lake Panasoffkee.

As a precaution, nearby Lake Panasoffkee Elementary school was placed on lockdown for about 40 minutes as officers moved in on the residence where the pair had holed up. The force included personnel from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force – including investigators from the U.S. Marshals Service, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, and the Gainesville Police Department.

Williams is facing two counts of attempted first-degree murder with a firearm and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder. He is being held without bond at the Sumter County Detention Center.

Hutcheson is being held on $50,000 bond on a charge of accessory after the fact to a felony of the first degree.
