King Of Douche Bags Released From Nevada Jail

"Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis is being released from a Nevada jail so he can return to Florida to face charges related to the filming of underage girls.

His lawyer told a federal judge in Reno that Francis will travel to the East Coast on Tuesday and appear in a Panama City, Fla., courtroom on Wednesday day to resolve charges from the 2003 filming of girls during spring break.

Francis has been jailed since last year in Nevada, where he faces federal tax evasion charges.

During a brief hearing Monday before U.S. Magistrate Robert McQuaid, defense lawyer Fred Atcheson gave the court a $1.5 million cashier's check to cover Francis' bail on tax evasion charges.

Francis, 34, has been jailed on both sides of the country for nearly a year, caught in a tug-of-war between federal prosecutors in Nevada and state attorneys in Florida.
