Reality TV Star Arrested For Child & Dog Crimes
When it comes to reality television, it takes an interesting person to want to be a cast member. Without the explosions and some interesting twists and quirks, who will want to turn in, especially for multiple seasons? It is the twists and turns that launch the shows, but it is an eccentric cast that keeps the ball rolling. Unfortunately, some stars can be a bit over the top, and that can play out off the screen. Such is the case with a former reality star who was recently arrested regarding alleged child and dog crimes.
Neighbors with Benefits, which aired briefly on A&E, was all about the lives of swingers. Tony McCollister, 43, was a cast member on the series and was taken into custody on December 23rd, 2025. The South Lebanon, Ohio resident has been charged with “pandering obscenity involving a minor and sexual conduct with an animal.” Per court documents, it has been alleged that he was intimate with his own dogs, along with the horrific photos of sexually abused children. This happened a month before he was arrested, with one crime being a misdemeanor and the other being a felony.
As of now, he is facing eight years behind bars for the child imagery, along with $15K in fines. The reality TV star is not alone, as his landlord, Erica Grove, is also in trouble. She was also allegedly intimate with an animal, which, again, is a misdemeanor charge. Although Tony had a wife during his time on Neighbors with Benefits, it has not been stated whether he and Erica are an item or just friends. Those who knew of the show immediately rushed to social media to watch old clips of the series.
Not A Shock
Although these crimes are sick and disgusting, those who had seen Neighbors with Benefits were not surprised. Just hearing the concept behind the series was enough for followers to think there was something off with the cast. They immediately commented on the reality TV star and what he had done:
- literally no one is surprised by this.
- Im going to go throw up now. Cant believe I read this
- I knew he was searching for something more, but I didn’t realize he meant Pebbles
Currently, Tony McCollister is in jail with a $250K bond and will head to court on December 30th. Furthermore, he cannot be around animals or children, but more will be revealed after he sees a judge. The series made it just two episodes as it was not well-received. However, clips can still be seen (for now) on YouTube.
