Former Food Network Host Arrested for Trying to Get Homeless to Commit Murder
Yikes! Juan Carlos Cruz, the host of the former Food Network show Calorie Commando (don't think it even makes it into reruns anymore... and will definitely pulled now), was arrested on Thursday in Santa Monica, California for soliciting homeless people to commit murder!
"On Friday May 7th, police officers were contacted by homeless individuals who said the suspect solicited them to commit murder. The homeless people agreed to help officers in an investigation, in which Cruz revealed to officers the murder-for-hire method, where and when the individual was to be killed, and the terms of payment."
Cruz is currently being held on $5 million bail.
UPDATE: TMZ is reporting Cruz was attempting to get his wife killed. They have video posted of the homeless people Cruz allegedly solicited.

That's so crazy. But, that's what I deal with on a daily basis at work. Crazy
I always knew Cruz was a G.
Holy CRAP!!!!! WTF??!!!!
very sad situation.
On an unrelated note, Paula Deen will be one of the judges at the Miss USA pageant being televised tonight (16 May) at 7PM EDT on NBC.
The last thing I can imagine is Paula Deen judging a beauty contest - she'll probably think all the girls are too skinny and try to get them to eat some of her gooey butter cake or Krispy Kreme bread pudding.
Paula Deen as a judge of Miss USA ?
If that doesn't say these contests are stupid and ridiculous, I don't know what else does.
Pretty sad.
Pauler a judge on live national television.......I hope those poor saps in the production truck know what they are in for.
7 second delay= godsend.
Holy Crap. I remember his show and it was very "Meh". Sorry to hear that about him though.
I used to watch his show and enjoyed it very much. I am so shocked. why juan, why juan??
I watched his show a lot! I really liked it! AND!!! His wife did not seem that bad really! WTH???? What next? Ina hires a band of rogue gays to off The J-man? Holy Crap Food Network, get yourself TOGETHER!!!
This guy sounds like he's got real trouble, but I sometimes wonder if FN is so desperate for people that they don't really check people out too well. Remember JAG or whatever his name is - - the one who lied about his credentials to get on Next Foodwork Star? Or how about Robert Irvine? Another good example of inept and totally lacking in host power is Claire Robinson on Foodnetwork Challenge. Not only has she no personality, but her choice in dresses is one step above bimbo. Give us a break FN, investigate before you inflict some of these people on us.
Wow! Some people can really stoop to low levels.
