    PALM BEACH COUNTY, Florida (WPBF) — Palm Beach County officials say Joey Footman, with the help of his brother, pretended to be a bail bondsman and stole thousands of dollars from a victim.

Court records show that while in the Palm Beach County Jail, Joey Footman’s brother, Jonathan, convinced another inmate that Joey Footman was a bail bondsman and could help him get out.

The two are accused of taking about $8,000 from the victim.

The Footman brothers are being held in the Palm Beach County Jail on a combined total of $165,000 in bail.
