The alleged plot came to light when police investigated a break-in at Grabbers Bar and Grill on Great Guana Cay, where Bethel worked, and uncovered incriminating messages on a suspect's phone.
Before the trio was arrested, Robert Shiver, a former Auburn University football player, confronted Bethel after hiring a private investigator to track his wife's movements, the Post reported.
