April Fool's Prank Lands Man in Prison

By: Import User

Updated: January 7, 2009

What was supposed to be an April Fool`s Day prank has a Northeast Oklahoma man sentenced to prison. Andrew Phillip Francis of Miami was sentenced to 10-years in prison for pouring lighter fluid on his 15-year-old cousin`s socks and setting them on fire. Prosecutors asked to accelerate Francis` sentencing after his failure to pay court ordered fines. Francis also faces bail-jumping charges in Delaware County for alleged nonpayment of two bogus checks.
