Efforts failed. Seems unlikely that that charge was appropriate or that the owners had anything to do with it.
I excoriated the newspaper for their "source journalism", just taking what DA told them and printing it.

Just a ratings grab. Less people changed channels than if they said it was near several popular restaurants, which was also true.
It was not even that sensational. The "robbery" was two guys grabbed a case of liquor and knocked down the clerk when he tried to stop them for not paying. If they did not make the strip club tie-in, it probably does not even make the news.
