Joe Francis Continues His Losing Streak, Smuggles Drugs, Bribes Guard For Bottle Of Water
This has been the greatest week ever! The most hated man in my world, Joe Francis, is in so much trouble he can’t bribe his way to a bottle of water. But it didn’t stop him from trying. Not only is the Girl’s Gone Wild pervert behind bars for contempt of court, but he’s also been indicted on tax evasion and fraud charges. And just when you thought he couldn’t prove to be a more shady piece of crap, he’s caught with drugs in jail and tries to bribe a guard with $500 for a bottle of water.
From People magazine, because they say it better than I could:
- Francis offered the guard $100 for a bottle of water on Wednesday evening. When guard turned him down, Francis showed him $500, investigators said. Jail inmates are not allowed to have cash.
- Supervisors then searched Francis’s cell and discovered 16 prescription medications, including Lunesta – a sleeping pill – and the anti-anxiety medication lorazepam, court records show.
- After learning of the new charges, Francis waived his right to a bond hearing for the contempt of court charge on which he’d been jailed, the AP reports. He wept as his mother blew him a kiss as he was led from a federal court room back to his cell. “I didn’t do anything,” Francis told his parents as he was led away, according to the Panama City News Herald.
- The new charges include bribing a public servant, three counts of possessing a controlled substance and five counts of introducing contraband into a detention facility.
- The AP reports that Francis could face up to five years in prison for the alleged crimes, which are third-degree felonies.
