Heating Things Up Again
Malon Kelly told Georgina Phair he wanted to "cool their relationship," but the Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, woman apparently wasn't happy with that. "You are going to get it," Phair told him, according to prosecutors. "Something's going to happen to you."
Happily, nothing happened to Kelly -- but his vehicle was firebombed. Someone poured gasoline on his van and set it alight. Witnesses saw Phair running from the blazing car holding a petrol can.
Phair, a British swimming champion turned swimsuit model, competed in Miss Bikini World and Miss Tourism World. Her modeling resume notes she "spent a lot of time as a competitive swimmer (and) was ranked 3rd fastest woman in Great Britain at 50mtrs (metres) butterfly."
Phair, 27, admitted the arson. "I know I committed a serious offense. I accept this," she told the court. "I just hope now more than ever I will be offered some help and treatment to finally resolve this so I can move on with my life."
Prosecutors noted that "exhaustive medical investigations" showed she was not in need of any medical treatment. She was sentenced to 40 weeks in jail, which was suspended for two years.
Unfortunately, Phair's actual mug shot was not released, so we have to use this photo obtained by British newspapers in its place:
We'll endeavor to do better next time.

To Lenny: From her reaction, I'd say he had good reason to want to cool things off. Unfortunately, this didn't seem to work.

She's what you call "high maintenance". Higher, even, than the flames flying from his vehicle.
