"Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis was arrested Monday afternoon after failing to appear for a hearing earlier in the day in a federal tax-evasion case.
U.S. District Judge S. James Otero issued the warrant, which directed authorities to take Francis into custody and present him in court, according to Tom Mrozek, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles.
Officials with the U.S. Marshals Service said Francis was taken into custody when he reported to Otero's courtroom Monday afternoon, about five hours after he was supposed to appear there.
Last year, a grand jury in Reno accused Francis of two counts of tax evasion. He has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege Francis improperly deducted more than $20 million from his companies.
Since tax evasion is now the prevailing requirement to sit on Obama's Cabinet, I assume Francis will be selected for the Obamessiah's cabinet any day now.
Aaaaaany day now...
There's my two cents.
