It’s Official: Joe Francis Is An Idiot

How stupid is Joe Francis? Apparently, very stupid.
As if the other charges he’s facing are not enough, the pornographer gave authorities another reason to keep him in jail longer. He has just been charged with bribing a jailguard for a bottle of water. And to make things more interesting, a subsequent search of his cell yielded a stash of prescription sleeping pills.
From People:
According to court records in Florida, 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.
Scott Barbour, the guy who supplied him with the drugs and cash, has already been arrested Thursday, according to a police spokeperson. Barbour also happens to be the president of the film company that makes the Girls Gone wild videos. Just great. Two successful businessmen who also happen to be a couple of idiots.
If it’s any comfort for Francis, he’ll now have someone to hold his hand as he takes his turn tossing salad for his fellow inmates, and vice-versa.
