Cops: Couple Arrested For Mile High Sex Act
Lewd act allegedly was in front of mother and her kids
JULY 23--A married Connecticut couple is facing felony charges after joining the Mile High Club on a JetBlue flight Saturday morning, police charge.
Trista Reilly, 43, and Christopher Arnold, 42, were traveling to Sarasota, Florida from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York when they allegedly engaged in “lewd or lascivious exhibition,” according to a probable cause affidavit.
A flight attendant told cops that “several youths and their mother had witnessed” Reilly and Arnold “performing in sexual activity onboard Jet Blue Flight 163 JFK to SRQ.”
When Brian Zepp, the Jet Blue attendant, “walked to Ms. Reilly’s seating area” in the 25th row, he “witnessed her making up and down movements with her head while she was facedown on Mr. Arnold’s lap.”
Cops noted that, “Further investigation indicated that Ms. Reilly was seen by two underage youths performing Oral sex and jerking off Mr. Arnold.”
In a witness statement, a female passenger--who was flying with her two children--said that during takeoff she spotted a woman later identified as Reilly “jerking off” her male companion. “She 
noticed that my two kids was watching them and they didn’t stop. After that she was laying on him like if she was doing oral sex.”
Reilly, a medical receptionist, and Arnold, a general contractor, were arrested upon the July 19 flight's arrival in Sarasota. The duo, who live in Danbury, Connecticut, were booked into the county jail, from which they were freed Monday. Prosecutors agreed to the couple’s release on their own recognizance “while they investigate jurisdiction,” a court order states.
Seen above, the couple is scheduled to be arraigned on August 15.
According to court records, Reilly does not have a criminal record. Arnold, who was convicted of pot possession in 2004, was arrested earlier this year in Connecticut for “assault/disorderly conduct.” (2 pages)
