Francis bonded out of Harris County jail in November for charges of DWI and retaliation, but the clock is ticking for him to turn himself in for a burglary charge in Florida. According to the police report from that June incident, a woman at a restaurant left her door unlocked and while she was inside, Francis asked a bartender for help finding his keys.

"The bartender went and got a flashlight and went outside and held the flashlight while Steve Francis moved my seats back and forth, stripped the inside of my car of everything, and broke into my lock box," she said when speaking to Eyewitness News.
