Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis has been arrested in Florida for contempt of court.

The U.S. Marshal’s Office in Panama City, Fla., dishes that Francis, 34, was arrested at 6:30 a.m. at the Panama City airport on a warrant seeking his arrest for criminal contempt of court.

He is currently being held at the Bay County jail, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshal’s Office says.

Although his attorneys apparently released a statement saying Francis was on his way to voluntarily turn himself in, the arrest was carried out by airport police who recognized him before he could present himself to the Marshal’s Office.
