I just finished reading the 19-page affidavit detailing the charges against The Cherry Pit owners and I’m physically ill. It’s more proof that the image of incredibly gorgeous people having romantic interludes with no consequences happens only on TV shows.
Before Dallas shock jock Russ Martin settled on a home in Southlake, scuttlebutt in the local real estate industry mentioned him looking at homes in Cedar Hill along Joe Pool Lake.
With Martin now facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in regards to an incident with his girlfriend, it’s a good thing for the Best Southwest Martin ended up elsewhere. Those folks north of the Trinity just have a problem keeping it together in polite company.
Duncanville police returned to the Cherry Pit Tuesday afternoon, this time with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. City officials said there was a large amount of alcohol at the residence. It couldn’t be seized Saturday since it was not part of the initial warrant. Pit owner Jim Trulock has said that patrons of his establishment bring their own alcohol to the home. But the reportedly large amounts of alcohol confiscated could open the Cherry Pit up to charges of running an unlicensed bar.
The city is cracking down on the swingers club, City Manager Kent Cagle telling the Dallas Morning News that charges of prostitution and money laundering could also be in the works. With no definitive take on the constitutionality of Duncanville’s sex club ban en route for a while, in the meantime the legal advantage is the city’s. And they’re going to make it very difficult for the Cherry Pit to party.
Editor’s Note: I shudder to think of the kind of spam these Cherry Pit stories are going to attract to my site.
Cities need concerned individuals to serve on the boards and commissions that make important community decisions. If that sounds like something you might be interested in, call 972-218-1300 or or go the city’s website.
Duncanville’s most infamous residence is in the news again as police executed a search warrant at The Cherry Pit Saturday night. Police took photos of guests and seized evidence including wallets, purses and credit cards.
Mr. Ford,
Please help me, and other Duncanville citizens, understand your conduct and actions as an elected city council member.
On Tuesday, July 15th, you were on the JD Wells radio show. Your comments on this program portrayed our city, our citizens, and our elected officials in a very negative light. You went “on the record” to imply that officials are corrupt. You went on to misreport facts on citations issued; saying 88 citations were issued, when I think the actual number was 8 and saying that the only reason for issuing these 88 citations was to generate revenues for the city.
Lancaster Police responded to the Beckley Ave. Wal-Mart on June 30 at approximately 3:30 p.m. in response to a theft. An unknown suspect forced open a jewelry case located in the store and got away with 31 rings valued at more than $8,000.00. If you have any information please contact the Lancaster Police Department at 972-218-2700.
Pit bulls and what to do about them is the burning issue of the summer in the Best Southwest. In response to dog attacks and complaints from citizens, both Cedar Hill and Duncanville are lobbying the state legislature for the right to ban specific dog breeds.
