Police in Memphis, Tennessee, say a woman mistook a block of cheese for cocaine -- and tried to hire a hit man to kill four men and steal it.

Police say the 18-year-old woman was mistaken about the hit man, too. He was an undercover policeman.

She's charged with four counts of attempted murder and four more of soliciting a murder.

Authorities say the aspiring model was in the men's house recently when she saw the white, crumbly cheese that she thought was cocaine.

"Aspiring model". For what -- hoe handles?
