After his arrest last week on contempt of court charges (and being indicted in Reno on tax evasion), Joe Francis decided to reveal his true contemptness for the law. Florida court records show that Francis tried to bribe a guard for a bottle of water with $100. When the guard refused the offer, Francis flashed him $500. In his defense, I understand Francis' reasoning. Normally, flashing things at people has turned out pretty well for him - heck, besides coercing underage teen girls to perform sexually on film, it's all he knows. Unfortunately, the guard still did not bite.
Since inmates are not allowed to have cash, supervisors did decide to search Francis' cell. They found 16 prescription medications including Lunesta (sleeping aide) and the anti-anxiety medication lorazepam, according to court records. The Associated Press reported that Francis waived his right to a bond hearing and wept as his mother blew him a kiss goodbye (totally gay (Chaseblogger neither condones nor supports 'the gay' movement.))
Also arrested, was Scott Barbour, the president of Mantra Films Inc. (produces 'GGW'), for supplying the contraband items to Francis.
It is with absolute joy that I give to you the final count:
1 count of bribing a public servant.
3 counts of possessing a controlled substance
5 counts of introducing restricted items into a detention facility.
All of the above counts are third-degree felonies which means Francis could be facing five years in prison. Hey, Francis, have fun starring in "Inmates Gone Wild" this fall.
