Real Inmates of Orange County

I live not far from the Coto de Casa neighborhood made famous on the TV reality show "Real Housewives of Orange County". Apparently there are others living around here who would like to be cast members on the show but may have their plans derailed for awhile:

She wanted to become one of the “Real Housewives of Orange County.”

But Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas today dubbed a scheme “The Real Insurance Fraud of Orange County” because a Laguna Hills woman and her husband are charged with committing a record $38 million workers’ compensation insurance fraud through roofing companies they owned in Costa Mesa and Cathedral City.

People who answered calls at the two roofing company offices declined to comment.

Michael Vincent Petronella, 50, and Devon Lynn Kile, 44, were arrested at their Laguna Hills mansion and charged with 106 felony counts including insurance fraud, grand theft and filing false tax returns. An arraignment is scheduled for Friday. They are being held on $10 million bail apiece....

Among the luxury items seized by investigators at the couple’s home:

$500,000 in jewels, including a 10-carat diamond ring valued at $70,000, Chopard and Rolex watches.

Gucci, Chanel, Burberry and other luxury-brand handbags and shoes.

Two Ferraris, a Bentley and a Range Rover.

Investigators also found a copy of an application Kile filed to become a cast member on the “Real Housewives of Orange County” television show.

Sounds like she would have been perfect for the show. Maybe they can get a spot on one of the prison reality shows.
