Food Network Chef, Juan-Carlos Cruz, Arrested

Juan-Carlos Cruz - Food Network Chef Arrested

When a Food Network chef is arrested, the situation is ripe for humor, but the arrest of Juan-Carlos Cruz is no laughing matter. The Food Network chef doesn't work at Food Network anymore explaining why he was "very cheap" when it came to hiring three people to kill his wife off. Maybe he paid for it all with no fax payday loans no credit check?
