FORT MEYERS, Florida: It's been a bad couple of days for the bad guys. First, in an update of the old file-baked-in-a-cake ploy, Florida prisoner Gregory WIlliamson got out of jail when his girlfriend faxed a faked pardon to prison authorities. He was caught a week later when he couldnt resist trying the same trick to spring his former cellmate. Apparently Williamson and his girlfriend were planning to go national: When they were arrested in her apartment, police found computers and disks containing official seals for state offices across the country. Meanwhile, Memphis teenager Brandon Hughes exhibited breathtakingly bad judgement when he walked into court for his hearing on a traffic violation with a packet containing 1.2 grams of cocaine in his jacket pocket. The packet fell out as he was being sworn in. Hughes was sent straight to jail for contempt of court; possession charges are a distinct possibility.
