SEPARATED AT BIRTH? Francis, Peres
The world was temporarily rendered safe for drunk co-eds this morning when police in Panama City, Florida, arrested Girls Gone Wild owner Joe Francis. The millionaire meatstick was wanted for contempt of court charges stemming from a 2003 lawsuit by minors who appeared in Girls Gone Wild videos. Francis allegedly threatened the women during negotiations over a settlement. He was reportedly on his way to turn himself in when police nabbed him.
We only hope they got the right guy. Just to be safe, Details editor Dan Peres might want to avoid visiting Florida until this whole thing blows over.
