What the Hell Theater - 8/9

The owner of two Dallas businesses that officials say were falsely represented as religious outreach efforts has agreed to close them. A judge closed the Playground last month. The city, in a court filing, said undercover officers determined that it was a swingers sex club, operating in a space that had a certificate of occupancy for a church, synagogue or mosque. The owner also agreed to close another club called Darkside. The city says the businesses violated zoning restrictions and had no religious activity.
Police in Jacksonville, Florida, say a potential Twinkie thief was thwarted by an armed store clerk last Thursday. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office responded to a call from a convenience store around 4 p.m. when a man attempted to steal a Twinkie. The store clerk chased the suspected snack cake snatcher out of the store. Police say the clerk's gun discharged during the chase, hitting the suspect. K-9 units followed a trail of blood but did not locate the suspect. A check of area hospitals turned up 18-year-old Joseph Williams, who admitted to being in a struggle with the store clerk. He was arrested. No word on the condition of the Twinkie.
