SARASOTA, Fla. - A couple's decision to join the "mile-high club" on a flight to Sarasota landed them a trip to jail, according to arrest affidavits.
The backstory:
Investigators say they received a complaint from a flight attendant on JetBlue Flight 163 from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport on Saturday, July 19.
The flight attendant said that several children and their mother witnessed Christopher Arnold, 42, and Trista Reilly, 43, engaging in sexual activity during the flight.
