But here's a buffet of nonsense from the good old U.S.A. FRIENDLY SKIES: Trista Reilly, 42, and Christopher Arnold, 43. MILE HIGH CLUB There was something about the woman in seat 25B. Her head was moving in an up-and-down motion on Jet Blue Flight 163 from New York City to Sarasota, Florida, on July 23. One female passenger flying with her two children noticed that a woman was 'jerking off' her male companion on take-off. 'She noticed that my two kids was [sic] watching them and they didn't stop,' the woman recalled. 'After that, she was laying on him like if she was doing oral sex.' As a result, married Connecticut couple Trista Reilly, 42, and Christopher Arnold, 43, face felony charges for their alleged attempt to join the Mile High Club. She's a medical secretary and he's a contractor. Now, their reputations have crashed and burned. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

How do you make that happen? Rob and murder hubby's 88-year-old great-grandfather! Cops say Andrus, 29, was found guilty of second-degree murder, burglary and grand theft of a motor vehicle in the 2020 beating death of James Little at his Sebring home. Beau Travis Best, 25, pleaded guilty to the same charges and then pointed the finger at Andrus in court. At the time of the murder, her husband was in jail, and Andrus and the boy toy were staying in an in-law suite at Little's home. We'd say grandpa was being quite sporting! The plan was to steal the old boy's car and his late wife's jewelry, then hit the road to Motown. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. On Oct. 22, 2020, Andrus told a neighbour that the old man was dead after being brutally beatens. He died five days later. Missing was $1,500 in cash and a safe.

SIS BURNED HOME TO STOP WINDFALL Cheryl Gibson didn't much like the idea of her sister making money from the sale of the family home. So, she called 911 and asked how to acquire a burn permit for the Springfield, Missouri, home. Cops claim she set the home ablaze an hour later. Now, Gibson is charged with second-degree arson. Investigators allege the arson 'involved in a family dispute (we'll say!)' with her sister over 'their late father's residence.' Both women have a financial interest in the property.
