Joe Francis surrendered to federal marshals today to face a contempt of court citation after initially defying a federal judge.
Joe Francis was booked into the Bay County Jail, said Ruth Sasser, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office. “His attorneys continue to work toward a settlement,” Kevin Mercuri, a spokesman for Francis, said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press.
He drew the contempt citation during negotiations in a civil lawsuit brought by seven women who were underage when they were filmed by his company on Panama City Beach during spring break in 2003.
Joe Francis is sitting in a jail cell right now, that is freckin’ awesome. Maybe we’ll see a “Girls Gone Wild, Behind Bars” probably because Joe is a genius well at least that’s what the 12 year girls say about him.
