Jacqueline Laurita's Ex-husband "Matt" Holmes Arrested In Texas

John Madison "Matt" Holmes, (aka Jacqueline Laurita's ex-hubby from RHONJ) along with his new wife, Jodie Sue Holmes, were arrested in big Texas!

Here's the scoop:

You probably missed this story over the weekend due to all the Lady Gaga & Beyonce hype during the MTV VMA's, but Alexis Tereszcuk from RadarOnline.com has posted an article claiming that Ashley's dad & step-mom were recently arrested (about two months ago - June 2) for arson, insurance fraud, and money laundering - which may or may not be connected to another arson crime from back in March.

According to Radar's [senior] reporter, Ashley's other parents were arrested in Parker County, Texas and then released at a total bail of $300,000 ($225k for "Matt" & $75k for Jodie). "Matt" is claiming that the dispatched fire fighters failed to arrive on time, and that he was actually in the house 30 minutes prior to their arrival - however, an unidentified witness has willingly provided information to Weatherforddemocrat.com, claiming that Matt was the one who initially started the fire with kerosene & gasoline.

The couple has reportedly received $429,000 from their house insurance, but police are now allegedly accusing them of making unrelated purchases for plastic surgery and a $40,000 diamond ring - well it sure does look like Joe & Teresa Guidice aren't the only shady low-lives from the show (I wonder if that's why Jacqueline had to get rid of Matt?). According to Fire Marshall Investigator, Kenn Dabbs, the FBI are now involved with this huge case! Was it Ashley or Jacqueline who bailed them out?
