Guy Gone Running



Joe Francis, who was sentenced jail time for contempt of court missed his deadline to surrender to authorities in Panama City yesterday. He was supposed to be there by noon, but was a no-show.

The charge is from a 2003 lawsuit, when seven women, then underage, sued Francis for "victimizing them" and filming them for "Girls Gone Wild" when they drank too much and acted like hoes on spring break in Panama City. Both parties were ordered by the judge to begin settlement mediation. On March 21 when the negotiations were to begin, Joe went off on a tirade.

Then the judge ordered Joe to be locked up until he agreed to participate in mediation in good faith. This all looked like it would end after the plaintiffs and Joe agreed on a settlement offer. The judge then suspended the order. But then Joe changed the terms of the settlement, stumping even his own lawyer.

So then the judge reinstated the civil contempt order and may be starting a criminal contempt process.

Got all that?

It shouldn't be hard to find him. Just follow the trail of skank.
