'Big Brother': Tonya Paoni busted for drunk driving homicides
Surprise, surprise. Another "Big Brother" contestant is in trouble with the law.
Tonya Paoni, who was a housemate in the show's third season, is accused of something more serious than disorderly conduct or assault though.
Paoni, who now goes by the name Tonya Casper, was arrested for reckless homicide in May for an incident that left two people dead in Springfield, Illinois last summer, reports TMZ.
The 43-year-old was allegedly driving under the influence when she hit an SUV on Interstate 72. One of the passengers in the hit car died and so did another man who was caught in the multi-car crash.
Paoni is currently held on $1 million bond at Sangamon County Jail.
