Remember those charges against the Chippendale's in Lubbock? Turns out the DA just couldn't keep 'em
up.The Lubbock County Criminal District Attorney's Office rejected a dozen cases presented against eight Chippendales dancers and an owner and employee of Jake's Sport's Cafe.
According to a letter sent Thursday to Lubbock Police Chief Claude Jones, Criminal District Attorney Matt Powell wrote that officers "had probable cause to make the arrests and were justified in doing so.
"However, it is my opinion that justice would be better served in pursuing a Class C misdemeanor charge in Lubbock Municipal Court," Powell wrote.
So they'll probably plead to the misdemeanors and pay their fine. Pay their fines with unctuous, sweaty, $1 bills.
