Joe Francis Is In Police Custody

TMZ has the exclusive mugshot photo of Joe Francis who was arrested at the Panama City airport this morning. Was he trying to hide?
Francis was reportedly on his way to voluntarily turn himself in, but he was recognized by airport police and arrested there before he reached the Marshal’s Office. Francis had been ordered to turn himself in for changing the terms of a settlement deal stemming from a 2003 lawsuit in which seven women accused him of victimizing them by filming them in sexual situations while they were on spring break in Panama City.
Francis, creator of the popular “Girls Gone Wild” series, had until noon Thursday to turn himself in, but PEOPLE says that Francis missed the deadline.
Bad Boy.
