Notorious celebrity: Joey Buttafuocco

Joey Buttafuocco seems to be the kind of guy that trouble just naturally follows around.

His big 15 seconds of fame came in 1992 when his teen-age lover, Amy Fisher, shot Buttafuocco's wife, Mary Jo, in the head. Mary Jo recovered, and Amy, after her release from prison, has passed through a brief career as a newspaper columnist and into a dubious new career in the pornography industry.

Joey served half a year for statutory rape, had a few more moments in the sun as a television show guest, then went back into the auto repair business. In 2003, he was again arrested, this time for suspicion of insurance fraud.

A photo of Joey and May Jo appears below.
